mod_python still not recommended?

[Franz]

Hi,

as I reinstalled my test system, I found that Trac do NOT recommend mod_python, because it is "not actively maintained anymore" [1] and "As of 16^th June 2010, the mod_python project is officially dead" [2]. But when I check web-site of mod_python [3] it has released two new versions in 2013. This means to me that it is still actively maintained.

I installed mod_python on ubuntu 14.04, but it appearently installed an older (?) version 3.3.1 of mod_python: libapache2-mod-python (3.3.1-11ubuntu2)

Should the hint in [1] and [2] be removed or are they still valid?

Yes, the project was revived (1). I proposed and a wait and see approach, as to whether the mod_python project continues to be maintained (2).

We should probably update those pages, but I'm unsure of what to say at this point. Maybe something non-committal such as //The mod_python project has been revived and Trac continue to have mod_python support.//
