Configure Python to work in WAMP

May 12th, 2008

I use WAMP to develop my PHP/MySQL applications locally before moving them to a production server. I want to start teaching myself Python and wish to add Python to my installation. I have downloaded and installed Python 2.5 and also installed mod_python. Unfortunately getting Apache to recognize that Python is installed and run Python web pages isn't working. I either get a Python error or the contents of the Python file display on the screen.

Has anyone had any luck getting Python to work with WAMP specifically? If not any experience getting it to work with Apache on Windows would be appreciated.

Here is the error message I get:

MOD_PYTHON ERROR

ProcessId: 800
Interpreter: 'localhost'

ServerName: 'localhost'

return __import__(module_name, {}, {}, ['*'])

ImportError: No module named index.py

Here is the code in index.py
