Yes context allows one server to service multiple websites. If you copy
the "lines" in your httpd / apache.conf, and Application.conf line that
you have questions about. I can give you a better answer in relation to
specific items.
As to how to use them ( with mod_webkit, sorry don't know about
mod_python ) ... here's a sample:
[Application.conf]
'Contexts': {
#'Admin': '%(WebKitPath)s/Admin',
#'Examples': '%(WebKitPath)s/Examples',
#'Docs': '%(WebKitPath)s/Docs',
#'Testing': '%(WebKitPath)s/Testing',
#'MyContext': 'MyContext',
'rdg': '/home/rdg/WebWareWork/rdg',
'rdg2': '/home/rdg/WebWareWork/rdg2',
'default': 'rdg'
},
[apache/http.conf]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/wk/(.*) /$1 [R]
RewriteRule ^/rdg(.*) /wk/rdg/$1 [L,PT]
RewriteRule ^/rdg2(.*) /wk/rdg2/$1 [L,PT]
<Location /wk>
WKServer localhost 8086
SetHandler webkit-handler
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from localhost .localdomain
allow from 192.168.10.
allow from 10.0.0.
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>
Ok, If you have any other questions just let us know. Hope this helps!

PS : I "got" most of this from using the RewriteRule's wiki page, and a
heck of a lot of experimenting. I only say it as a warning ... your
results may vary, and this is meant for a Linux / *nix machine running
mod_webkit.
