Class ModPythonAdaptor

WebServerAdaptor --+

                  ModPythonAdaptor

This subclass of WebServerAdaptor is for mod_python.

There are many ways to configure mod_python. In the example below, any request for "/aquarium" is given to Aquarium. Note that this configuration even removes the need for a separate entry point:

<Location "/aquarium">
    # Update your path, if necessary:
    # PythonPath "sys.path + ['/path/to']"
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler aquarium.wsadaptor.ModPythonAdaptor
    PythonOption AQUARIUM_PACKAGE_PATH /var/www/site-packages
    PythonDebug On
</Location>

Be careful if you are using SELinux. It can cause errors that look like Aquarium is not even installed! Keep an eye on both the server log and /var/log/messages if things aren't working.
