-mod_python handler for Quixote.  See the "mod_python configuration"
-section of doc/web-server.txt for details.
+mod_python handler for Quixote *1*.
+This still needs to be converted for Quixote 2.
+
+mod_python configuration
+------------------------
+
+mod_python is an Apache module for embedding a Python interpreter into
+the Apache server.  To use mod_python as the interface layer between
+Apache and Quixote, add something like this to your httpd.conf::
+
+    LoadModule python_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_python.so
+    <LocationMatch "^/qdemo(/|$)">
+        SetHandler python-program
+        PythonHandler quixote.mod_python_handler
+        PythonOption quixote-root-namespace quixote.demo
+        PythonInterpreter quixote.demo
+        PythonDebug On
+    </LocationMatch>
+
+This will attach URLs starting with ``/qdemo`` to the Quixote demo.
+When you use mod_python, there's no need for rewrite rules (because of
+the pattern in the ``LocationMatch`` directive), and no need for a
+driver script.
+
+mod_python support was contributed to Quixote by Erno Kuusela
