Mod_python licensing?

[Leif K-Brooks]

I'm writing an application for mod_python which I would like to cover
under the GPL. However, mod_python is licensed under the Apache license,
which I've heard isn't GPL-compatible. Does this force me not to use the
GPL? If so, which license would others recommend?

Recommend for what purpose? For your entire application? If that's
what you mean, perhaps the obvious answer is "use the Apache license".

If that's not possible, explain why and also describe your requirements
and then someone can give a (more) useful answer.

Unless your app actually modifies mod_python, the licenses are
separate, so you can use whatever license you want for your app,
AFAIK. IANAL, etc.
