I guess I'm one of those bad programmers who does "weird things" , I often create a string with my entire page and then output it. I thought it made more sense since I now have a string that I can run regexes on or find/replace if necessary

I've been using a homegrown solution for years. I've learned more than I ever wanted to about spam filters, having IPs greylisted, throttling delivery speeds etc. I've decided it's not worth our time anymore to keep up with all the latest

I thought the whole point of mod_python was performance. Since it runs inside the apache process it doesn't have to spawn a new python interpreter for every page request. Am I mistaken? Does fastcgi and/or mod_wsgi solve the same issue?
