Web programming: Apache modules: mod_python vs mod_php
- by Olivier Pons
Hi!
I've been using for more than 12 years PHP with Apache (a.k.a mod_php) for my web
development work. I've recenlty discovered python and its real power (I still don't understand why this is not always the best product that becomes the most famous).
I've just discovered mod_python for Apache. I've already googled but without success things like mod_python vs mod_php. I wanted to know the differences between the two mod_php and mod_python in terms of:
speed
productivity
maintainance
(I know `python is most productive and maintainable language in the world, but is it the same for Web programming with Apache)
availability of features e.g, cookies and session handling, databases, protocols, etc.
