I haven't tried mod_wsgi yet, so I'm doing it using mod_python. (I don't see a compelling reason to dump mod_python yet, not to mention the learning curve and potential time-cost to convert my scripts from mod_py to mod_wsgi - I don't really know if there are any, just guessing here...) Invoking GIMP from mod_python works Ok, but it is quite slow. 1 round-trip request - from the client page requesting the Gimp stuff until the server gets back to the client with the response page is quite long - about 10-15 sec - and most (ALL?) of the time is spent on the Gimp side, NOT the apache/mod_py side. So obviously this is not a speed demon, as Gimp was not designed to serve web requests. But speed problem aside, it does work. ... it just needs 'veeery' patient users :) Anyway, good luck on your side, I think you'll have no big problem making this work, vio On Sat, Oct 3, 2009 at 11:26 PM, Brochester L. <forums@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > i consider myself pretty well versed with efficiency based upon server > performance and apache conforms for me pretty well in plugging in modules to > suite my needs and users demands.
