hello,

te attached snippet sems to be enough to make quixote work with
mod_python.

it goes pretty fast (ab says 150 req/s with the demo "handler by a
python function" url), and doesn't need any non-free software
(fastcgi).

i haven't tested it a lot, mainly just the demo.

here's how i set it up (debian woody):

        apt-get install libapache-mod-python
        cp quixote_handler.py /usr/local/lib/python2.0/site-packages/

add to /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

        LoadModule python_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_python.so

        
        SetHandler python-program
        PythonPath "sys.path + ['/home/erno/quixote']"
        PythonHandler quixote_handler
        PythonOption quixote-package quixote.demo
        PythonInterpreter quixote.demo
        PythonDebug On
        

you need a separate PythonInterpreter for each package.
