There are Apache 2 + mod_wsgi + Python 2.6 on server.
I would like to run scripts from Python like PHP scripts. The idea may seem silly, but I'm so accustomed (at least at first learning Python).
Example:
PHP - http://example.com/script.php
Python - http://example.com/script.py
P.S. I know about mod_rewrite and other similar tricks that can do that. But it is only a disguise, and not a direct run.
UPD: My .htaccess file. index.py works, but other python scripts get 404 error.
<Files *.py>
SetHandler wsgi-script
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
</Files>
DirectoryIndex index.py

Easy to LearnPython and PHP are very similar. Both are object-oriented interpreted languages that run on a variety of operating systems. They're both dynamically typed and have terrific IDE support. Lastly, Python and PHP both stand out in the world of syntax.
To call a Python file from within a PHP file, you need to call it using the shell_exec function.
To deploy, you need to upload this artifact to your production machine. To install it, just run dpkg -i my-package. deb . Your virtualenv will be placed at /usr/share/python/ and any script files defined in your setup.py will be available in the accompanying bin directory.
Yes it is possible.
That doesn't look as cool as having a wsgi app running, so I recommend that you use the flask framework which is as simple as can be a sane framework.
Here's a link describing the install procedure on mod_wsgi.
Later on, you might want to consider a cool framework like Django, Pyramid, Grok ...
If you really want to use mod_wsgi like mod_php check Graham Dumpleton's great answer.
