Apache2 does support Python, but it’s not as straightforward as its support for PHP. There are a few reasons for this:

• PHP was designed from the ground up to be a server-side scripting language, with a focus on web development. As a result, it has a built-in interface with Apache, known as mod_php, which allows PHP scripts to be executed directly within the Apache process.
• Python, on the other hand, is a general-purpose programming language that can be used for a wide range of tasks, including web development. While there are several frameworks and libraries available for building web applications with Python, such as Django and Flask, they don’t have the same level of integration with Apache as PHP does.
• However, Apache2 does have modules available that allow it to run Python scripts, such as mod_wsgi and mod_python. These modules provide a way to run Python web applications, such as those built with Django or Flask, within the Apache server.

To use Python with Apache2, you would typically need to:

• Install a Python web framework, such as Django or Flask
• Install a module, such as mod_wsgi, to allow Apache to run Python scripts
• Configure Apache to use the module and run your Python web application

It’s worth noting that while Apache2 can be used to run Python web applications, other web servers, such as Gunicorn or uWSGI, are often used in conjunction with Python web frameworks to provide a more efficient and scalable way to deploy Python web applications.

• especially this this template:  https://codeberg.org/dwaves/PYTHON_EXAMPLES_ONLINE/src/branch/main/overview/webserver2.py
• Warning! this webserver https://docs.python.org/3/library/wsgiref.html#module-wsgiref.simple_server
  • might not have been security battle hardened as other webservers! X-D
  • writing a webserver in 100% python is still pretty cool
