Does Django-1.5.1 still support the mod_python-3.3.1?

Question

My version of Django is 1.5.1, and the version of mod_python is 3.3.1.

Does django still support mod_python?

Answer 1

From the docs for version 1.4:

Support for mod_python has been deprecated, and will be removed in Django 1.5. If you are configuring a new deployment, you are strongly encouraged to consider using mod_wsgi or any of the other supported servers.

For version 1.5, the option is removed and instead you get this warning at the deployment documentation:

Chapter 12 of the Django Book (second edition) discusses deployment and especially scaling in more detail. However, note that this edition was written against Django version 1.1 and has not been updated since mod_python was first deprecated, then completely removed in Django 1.5.

You are encouraged to use mod_wsgi instead. The documentation provides comprehensive guidance on how to deploy with wsgi.
