To install and test mod_python Apache on Windows (assuming that you’ve already had Apache and Python installed):

1. Download mod_python Win32 Binaries from http://httpd.apache.org/modules/python-download.cgi
2. Run the installer. When prompted for Apache installation directory, type C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2 (Assuming default Apache installation).
3. Edit httpd.conf.
4. Add the following line:
   LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
5. Configure your Apache <Directory> directives to include AddHandler, PythonHandler, and PythonDebug (examples below).

To test your mod_python installation:

1. Create a file named mptest.py in say C:\sites.
2. The file will contain:
   from mod_python import apache
   def handler(req):
     req.content_type = ‘text/plain’
     req.write(”Hello World”)
     return apache.OK
3. Edit httpd.conf.
4. Under <Directory “C:/sites”> directive add:
   AddHandler mod_python .py
   PythonHandler mptest
   PythonDebug On
5. Restart Apache and point your browser to the mptest.py url.
