Project StatusΒΆ
No mod_wsgi is not dead, it was just resting.
Development work on mod_wsgi did effectively stop there for a few years due to developer burnout and the fact that the project has a bus factor of one. Renewed development did however restart early 2014, with a considerable amount of new development work and fixes being performed since then.
A lot of the changes being made were with the aim of making it a lot easier to deploy Apache with mod_wsgi in Docker based environments. Changes included the ability to install mod_wsgi using pip, along with an admin command called mod_wsgi-express which provides a really simple way of starting up Apache and mod_wsgi from the command line with an automatically generated configuration.
Completely revised documentation will eventually be incorporated here. To date though it has been seen as being a bit pointless spending huge amounts of time documenting all the new features given that Linux distributions have historically tended to supply quite old versions of mod_wsgi anyway. Most users tend to outright refuse to build mod_wsgi from source code themselves and so are stuck with the much older versions their Linux distribution provides.
In the mean time keep referring to the older documentation located on the Google Code site at:

Documentation for the new mod_wsgi-express feature will not be found on the Google Code site, but is documented in the PyPi entry for mod_wsgi at:
