mod_python Handlers
mod_python is an Apache module which allows us to write Apache handlers in Python. The documentation for mod_python is excellent, and gives a flavor for the many possibilities with this excellent module.The CS site currently implements handlers for three stages: the Init handler handles initialization of the infrastructure, the Translate handler handles translation from the request URI to the filename of a Python script, as well as preliminary decoding of other information in the request, and the Dispatch handler handles the invocation of the Python script which will produce the response.
