mod_python provides different layers of APIs, with the lowest levels being those dealing with things like connections and requests - see the apache module for details: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/module-apache.html Other layers involve things like cookies, sessions and Python server pages, and there are also things like the publisher handler which are less to do with Apache itself and more to do with Python: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/hand-pub.html Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
