Long(er) answer: mod_wsgi isn't the perfect solution but it works much better than mod_python right now.
With mod_python, each apache thread/worker process/etc must load a copy of the python interpreter into memory. This has several bad side effects:
1. If you have more than one site run off the same apache, then EVERY instance of apache threads/workers will have a whole python interpreter in their context. That's quite a few megs of ram per request, even requests for my_small_image.jpg.
2. If you have more than one python site on the same apache, you cannot isolate them from one another, because the same python interpreter is loaded for them all. What happens if you need v1.0 of a library for this app and v1.1 for another? Can't do it with mod_python AFAIK. In mod_wsgi, each site can have its own private python virtualenv.
There's a lot of smaller reasons for using mod_wsgi but based on those two reasons, I would warmly recommend the usage of mod_wsgi today. I've found it to be stable, efficient, and much less resource- intensive than mod_python.
