When deploying Django sites on mod_python, you'll need to restart Apache each
time you make changes to your Python code.

If you're the type of programmer who debugs using scattered ``print``
statements, note that ``print`` statements have no effect in mod_python; they
don't appear in the Apache log, as one might expect. If you have the need to
print debugging information in a mod_python setup, either do this::
statements, note that output to ``stdout`` will not appear in the Apache
log and can even `cause response errors`_.

Or add the debugging information to the template of your page.
If you have the need to print debugging information in a mod_python setup, you
have a few options. You can print to ``stderr`` explicitly, like so::
print >> sys.stderr, 'debug text'
sys.stderr.flush()
(note that ``stderr`` is buffered, so calling ``flush`` is necessary if you wish
debugging information to be displayed promptly.)
A more compact approach is to use an assertion::
.. _mod_python documentation: http://modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/directives.html
assert False, 'debug text'
Another alternative is to add debugging information to the template of your page.
