Have any you Python fans dug into the new offering enough to know if the Apache integration (mod_python?) is available? I understand how I can build Python apps that work with the browser directly but I want to integrate them with everything else on my regular Apache set up.

As yet, there is no IBM-supplied, precompiled mod_python for the new
5733OPS Python.

In principle, you should be able to download the mod_python source and
compile it yourself (very possibly with some tweaks). So in that
sense, it's available. ;)

Incidentally, this would be a good candidate for releasing as a PTF. I
am actually kind of baffled by the PTFs for flipflop and bottle, as
those packages are pure Python (no C involved, no "compilation" to
speak of), and they are installable by pip (the standard Python
package manager). The best I can guess is that IBM wants to grant
their official stamp of approval on flipflop and bottle.
