[BioPython] mod_python

Ahh, thanx. So I should turn on mod_python on my apache (it's installed
but not configured.)

What makes you think it's not? From your description I don't see, why it
should break biopython aslong as apache can find it and the needed
modules. Or are there any special hacks inside mod_python, which make it
run only with some python-modules?

Why don't you just try it? If it breaks your script, you can easily go
back to normal cgi and tell us about it. ;-)
I think, installing mod_python is not much work (from what i read, i
just installed a rpm), so it should be worth the time. 

I'm looking forward to hear about your experiences.
