From what I've been able to tell from afar, I strongly suspect PyPI's downtimes would be greatly reduced with a move to modwsgi (currently it is using modfcgi, and most downtime is solved with an Apache restart -- modwsgi generally recovers from these problems without intervention). Martin attempted this at one time but ran into some installation problems. It seems like the team of people managing PyPI could benefit from the addition of someone with more of a sysadmin background (e.g., to help with installing a monitor on the server). I have some experience with modwsgi (and this is what we're using for the hg.python.org setup, I think). I'd be happy to help out more with that, if it helps (though most of my experience is not with the Debian-based distributions). Cheers, Dirkjan

Copying this message to the mod_wsgi author/maintainer, who should be able to give us sound advice on this (as should Ian, but he's a secondary server for the data :-).
