原文地址 ：http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mod_python-apache-tutorial/

1.Install mod_python

Open terminal and type the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-python-doc

2.Configure mod_python

You need to create directory to host your python scripts. Type the following command:
$ sudo mkdir /var/www/py
Give your account permission to access the scripts:
$ sudo chown yourname:www-data /var/www/py
Now, open /etc/apache2/sites-available/default, enter:
$ sudo -s
# vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Add the following config code:

 
   
        AddHandler mod_python .py
        PythonHandler hello
        PythonDebug On
    
 

Save and close the file. Restart Apache2 server:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
# tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log
You should see mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 loaded:

[Tue Mar 17 02:42:18 2009] [notice] FastCGI: process manager initialized (pid 15572)
[Tue Mar 17 02:42:18 2009] [notice] mod_python: Creating 8 session mutexes based on 150 max processes and 0 max threads.

3.How do I test mod_python?

Simply create the script as follows:
$ vi /var/www/py/hello.py
The following simple mod_python program serves as a good test:        

from mod_python import apache
 
def handler(req):
        req.log_error('handler')
        req.content_type = 'text/html'
        req.send_http_header()
        req.write('')
        req.write('Hello World!')
        req.write('')
        return apache.OK

 Save and close the file. Now fire a webbrowser and type the url:
http://localhost/py/hello.py
You hould see "Hello World!" on screen.
