mod_snake Is Dead

Posted by timothy on from the choked-on-mod_mouse dept.

jayed_99 writes "mod_snake has been abandoned by its creater Jon Travis. He cites a lack of 'time or motivation.' Like mod_python, it embedds the Python interpreter into Apache. Unlike mod_python, it includes support for HTML-embedded python (a very nifty feature). It's still available here. Wouldn't you know this would happen two days after I decide to switch from mod_python to mod_snake?"

    I think by no longer hosting the file, he is saying that he no longer supports it and doesn't want a thousand emails from people who can't figure out why it doesn't work. Assuming that it was made released under the GPL, it could be picked up by another person or group. In all likely-hood, its not going to be picked up, as its a small apache module; which already has an established alternative.

    I think anyone willing to work on this project, would better spend their resources on mod_python instead.
