Python Server Pages Implementations

Question

I've been a PHP developer for quite awhile, and I've heard good things about using Python for web scripting. After a bit of research, I found mod_python, which integrates with Apache to allow Python Server Pages, which seem very similar to the PHP pages I'm used to. I also found a mod_wsgi which looks similar.

I was wondering which implementation the good people of Stack Overflow would recommend for someone who wants good integration with Apache and MySQL and similar functionality to PHP.

Answer 1

I believe mod_wsgi is the preferred option to mod_python:

Some performance benchmarks seem to suggest that mod_wsgi performs much better also.
