About

mod_python is an Apache web server module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server, allowing Python code to run many times faster than traditional CGI by executing inside persistent Apache processes.

It provides a Python API for direct access to Apache internals, keeps interpreter state between requests, supports request handlers and URL mapping, offers session handling with memory or dbm storage, and enables authentication and authorization logic within Python code.

mod_qos is a quality of service (QoS) module for the Apache web server that implements configurable control mechanisms to prioritize and manage HTTP requests to preserve server resources under load.

It offers limits on concurrent requests per URL or IP, per-second request rate caps, VIP user rules, and request blocking, delay, throttling, and connection dropping to avoid overload and mitigate traffic spikes.
