I can't help you here. For instance, if you want to get a proper performance, you should install something like mod_python to get Python functionality in Apache. > Python using CGI, for example, was enough for him until he started > getting 500 errors that he wasn't sure how to fix. Check the web server's error logs. My solution was to take a look at Cheetah. It's a template engine that's written in Python. I've written a mod_python handler for it so I can easily create & edit my website using Cheetah as a template engine. Check out http://www.unrealtower.org/mycheetah if you want to read more about the handler & other stuff I wrote. Perhaps you can even help me improve it!
