It seems most of the blog posts the web relating to mod\_python & mod\_wsgi concentrate on telling me how mod\_wsgi is better and what a WSGI application looks like. This is fine, but what I'd really want to know -- to have complete knowledge of the subject -- is:

How do they differ in running a script?

With CGI the server simply sets up the environment and runs a simple .py. WSGI wraps the application in an object, but the concept is still pretty much the same: run a .py file.

How does mod\_python do it?

I'm also really interested in learning how anything mod\_ works, so, really, feel free to point me to anything interesting on the subject.

Thanks!
