13820	Deprecate mod_python support	Robert Coup	nobody	"As proposed & discussed in the [http://groups.google.co.nz/group/django-developers/browse_thread/thread/5e39c24fc5f0d98a/5d5ca7f91ebe49f5 1.3 Start deprecating mod_python?] thread on Django-Developers, here's the ticket.

For the rationale, see the mailing list thread.

Things to do:
 * Make use of mod_python raise a `PendingDeprecationWarning`
 * Add ""don't use this"" messages to the deployment docs, and remove altogether from the install/etc documentation
 * Update wiki pages to steer people away from mod_python
 * Add to the Deprecation timeline and release notes

== Hotshot Profiler ==

From Russell in the same mailing-list thread:

> The only catch I can think of that hasn't been raised is the hotshot profiling handler; it's currently dependent on the modpython handler. I don't think there's a whole lot of extra work required to port it over, but it's worth putting on the todo list so it isn't forgotten. 


Graham D also posted a wsgi equivalent piece of code.

Options:
 * port to WSGIHandler
 * move the wsgi-equivalent code to the docs, or the wiki, or django-snippets; and remove from the codebase altogether when removing mod_python
