The application  i have to maintain use this 2 modules at the same time, i
think, because they are loaded in conf of apache.
It use cgi for the first part (python script with mod_python) and wsgi with
pylons on second part.
so i have to read some documentation to understanding apache conf with
mod_python and modwsgi use at the same time....
Thanks a lot for your help!
