Hi,

Is it possible to have something like psp with mod_wsgi ?
'cause I have programmed some pages with psp (i don't really like publisher
..) and I would like to continue using it.

Is it as simple as for mod_python to use sessions ?

It's really difficult to change the way we make things ...

<br>
Well, find like minded people and take on development and support of<br>
mod_python yourself. That is going to be the only solution.<br>
<br>
Knowing all the problems with how to deal with all the Unicode/bytes<br>
issues in Python 3.X it is going even be a major task working out what<br>
the interfaces should look like and where bytes versus Unicode should<br>
be used. The argument about this for WSGI has been going on for almost<br>
2 years now I think and still now final resolution and WSGI is a lot<br>
smaller interface than mod_python.<br>
<br>
Also, there are a significant number of bugs in mod_python and<br>
seriously they would need to be addressed before even trying to go to<br>
Python 3.X. All up it is going to need some serious commitment and<br>
right now there is no one who who has said they are prepared to do<br>
that.<br>
<br>
&gt; I find the frameworks annoying and really love the simplicity and ligh=
tness of mod_python.<br>
<br>
Did you look at Werkzeug and Flask as I mentioned in the blog. These<br>
are not heavy weight frameworks. Flask is specifically what is called<br>
a micro framework. Even if you didn&#39;t like Flask, it wouldn&#39;t take<=
br>
much effort to use Werkzeug to create an alternate micro framework<br>
that has usage pattern not too dissimilar to mod_python publisher. But<br>
one has to question whether that is a good idea either given the<br>
various design issues in publisher around multiple URLs being able to<br>
be used to map to a single resource and the problems that causes. Do<br>
you preserve these bad design issues or fix them?<br>
