I am planning to write web service in python. But, I found wsgi also does the similar thing. Which one can be preferred?

Thank you
Bala

Update

I am still confused. Please help.

Better in my sense means:
1. Bug will be fixed periodically.
2. Chosen by most developers.
3. Additional features like authentication tokens like AWS, can be supported out of the box.
4. No strong dependency on version.( I see that wsgi requires python 2.6)
5. All python libraries will work out of the box.
6. Scalable in the future.
7. Future upgrade don’t cause any issues.

With my limited experience, I want these features. There might be some I might be missing.

Thanks
Bala

Update

    mod_wsgi is more actively maintained and (I hear — haven’t benchmarked them myself!) better performing than mod_python. So unless you need exclusive features of mod_python, just to use a web app framework (or non-framework, like werkzeug;-), you’re probably better off with mod_wsgi! (Just about every Python web framework, and many non-frameworks of which werkzeug is my favorite, support WSGI as their standard interface to the web server, these days).
