I sympathize with this story and it makes me feel sorry.
But I also feel sorry for all the people who have struggled to do normal things with mod_python, often just because they assumed it was the default due to its name, and did not know that it got left behind by the rest of the world. This is why people say "mod_python is dead," to save others the pointless struggle typically encountered while trying to do the typical things with mod_python. And it's not only the long period without maintenance or the weak documentation. The whole ecosystem just moved on. It's been many years.
The reason it is you against the world today is that you want everyone to drop WSGI to use mod_python. Maybe this was possible in 2003-2005 or so. But for a long time now, mod_python is just not a good alternative to WSGI and all the tools that use it, even if it is good in its own ways. Trying to replace WSGI with mod_python today doesn't make sense. Please give up the goal of replacing WSGI with mod_python and take a new direction!
