Talk:Mod python

[edit] Security

I took out disadvantage because CGI scripts suffer from the exact same problem, and can be even more notorious since they can have a greater reach to the system. If someone has an argument I'd like to hear it, but I see mod_python as a security advantage, not disadvantage...--Capi crimm 01:51, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

If configured with security in mind (see mod_suexec), CGI for sure can be more safe than stuff running directly in the web server process using the same uid/gid as the web server for all users. It is also better separated (as it runs in a separate process), so negative impact on the apache processes is unlikely. We don't need to discuss that CGI is very bad in performance compared to Python running in persistent processes, this is why I added mod_wsgi as a safe and fast alternative to Mod_python. 91.21.130.190 (talk) 12:14, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name of Mod_python

The name of Mod_python is not "mod_python". See official manual.
