Sydney PyCon mod_wsgi talk slides available.

UPDATE: Video now available at http://blip.tv/file/3840484.

Sydney PyCon is over and my talk on mod_wsgi went okay. For those interested the slides can be downloaded from the mod_wsgi site.

Rather than try and explain how mod_wsgi worked, I concentrated on showing how to setup some basic things, but in doing so deliberately hit all the common problems that some people have with setting up a WSGI application under Apache and mod_wsgi. The slides therefore capture the details of various obscure error messages one will find in the Apache error logs when things do go wrong.

To illustrate issues related to the Python module search path and virtual environments I used Django as an example. The slides therefore are especially valuable if you are trying to deploy Django using mod_wsgi.

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. ;-)
