I am new to Python and plan to learn Python/Django. I am in the middle of installing Apache and mod_wsgi right now, I have read on the website that there are two modes: embedded mode (favoring performance) and deamon mode (favoring security). I am wondering what would be a better option in this case, and what is the reasoning behind that? Is there any considerable drawbacks/trade-offs favoring one over the other?
