On: Mod_python development resumes after a 5 year pause

This seems ill advised. He should really justify why he is doing this, and why, in particular, it makes sense for mod_python to gain python3 support.

I don't know of any currently-developed framework that hasn't deprecated mod_python, and for good reason. wsgi and uwsgi are superior solutions in every way. I don't want my python code running within the Apache process.

I am in the process of migrating all of my development to uWSGI. This also has the advantage of entirely de-coupling from Apache, so that I may move a given app to nginx at will.

Why?

If he wants to work on mod_python and make it support python3 why shouldn't he?

> I don't want my python code running within the Apache process.

Good for you but no ones forcing you to use it for your code, so you do your thing and if hacking on mod_python makes him happy why shouldn't he?

Now if he was working on mod_cobol you'd have a point... :)
