Perhaps not: he's referring to deployment on really cheap hosting solutions which might support mod_php but wouldn't support anything better than CGI for Python software. The suitability of mod_php and the supposed unsuitability of mod_python for commodity hosting did come up on comp.lang.python some time ago, a while before certain other trends, and has seemingly been discussed every year for several years: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/comp.lang.python/msg/ebf390af4ed6e92e "Thus, for mod_python hosting to be reliable, you have to give each user their own instance of the Apache server (proxied through a central instance of Apache). This might, in fact, no longer be needed with the latest mod_python, but I leave that to the mod_python experts in this newsgroup to expound upon if so." (To which there was no response.) This discussion only differs from those previous discussions [1] in the sense that better hosting is now available for less, although you can't get a virtual server for $1/month unless you have some contacts in the business.
