The mod_python project is now officially dead.

At the Apache Software Foundation June board meeting which took place on the 16th June 2010, the following resolutions were passed unanimously.

B. Terminate the Apache Quetzalcoatl Project (to Attic)

This was the umbrella project for mod_python and as such mod_python is now no more.

Long live mod_wsgi. Or at least until I get bored of it. ;-)

Please be aware of previous post I made warning this was going to happen at 'http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2010/05/modpython-project-soon-to-be-officially.html'. This post explains some of the options you have as far as moving away from mod_python.

It is now recorded in the Apache Attic that mod_python has been moved there. See 'http://attic.apache.org/projects/quetzalcoatl.html'.

Hi Graham,

Indeed, long live mod_wsgi.

I suggest requesting the quetzalcoatl people and asking them to link to the mod_wsgi page.

Perhaps a suitable landing page on the mod_wsgi wiki that explains the path forward into the WSGI world?

Thanks for all your good work over the years.

Alan.
