The mutex directory can also be specified at run time using PythonOption mod_python.mutex_directory. See Configuring Apache. New in version 3.3.0. Sets the maximum number of mutex locks reserved by mod_python. Note: mutex locks are used only by mod_python Sessions and PSP (which maintains a Session implicitly). Did somebody install mod_python 3.5.0 on Windows? Google explains how to install it on *nix, but I need this Apache module on Windows. And I need only this version.

I'm looking for the fast, easy (all default settings) way of installing Python on my windows machine so that Apache can use it. I currently have a Windows 7 installation with Apache and PHP working. I want to try and make some simple web pages in Python, just to play around with Python for a bit and learn a thing or two. I downloaded and installed Python 3.2 Python 2.7.2 (As advised below).

What do I do next? I would like to make a 'Hello World'. Do I need modpython or can I do without? I assume I need to tell Apache somehow that Python is available. I probably need to make an 'index.py' file, or something similar? I'm not directly looking for tutorials on the Python language itself, but just for some steps to make the simplest of the simplest script (Hello World) work on my current system.

Basically I'm looking for the Python equivalent of the following php script to work in my Apache: Hello World. First of all, especially in the web sector it's better to stay with python 2 (2.7) for now. Lots of frameworks and libraries are not py3-ready yet. Then you might want to use modwsgi instead of modpython which is deprecated and not available in binary form for recent python versions (and using old python versions such as 2.5 is bad). Finally, unlike PHP it's usually not a good idea to write python webapplications with the idea of 1:1 mappings between files and urls.

To get started with something nice, have a look at the. It has some good examples and a full tutorial. And to make it even better, you don't need Apache for it during development as you can simply run a python-based developmont server. WSGI is a very very low level interface.

PHP in comparison provides a lot of higher level functionality which simply will not exist. If you use WSGI API directly, you will have to reinvent the wheel and for things which may affect the security of your site, likely get it plain wrong.

A micro framework like Flask, where things can still be in one file if need be, will do all the mundane stuff for you like handling query strings or form posts, as well as pulling apart headers etc etc. So, it will save you a lot of work. – Aug 23 '11 at 21:51.

Recently I got a new server and need to host a service on it. I found that there are tons of versions for the installation and configuration of modpython in apache 2 server, which made me confused. Here I try to make this process more clearly. My server installed ubuntu server 10.10, but i think it works for the other debian distribution. Installation First install apache 2, type the following command in terminal: apt-get install apache2 Then install modpython with the following command: apt-get install libapache2-mod-python Configuration 1. Disable default virtual host I prefer host my sites in different virtual hosts, which is a feature of apache server 2. It help you host multiple sites within one server.

So the first thing I did is to disable the default Apache virtual host: a2dissite default If you want to use the default virtual host just ignore this step above. Build your virtual host All the virtual host is configured in the directory /etc/apache2/sites-available/. You can see the default file for the default virtual host.
