Can I run Bottle.py on my Apache server without disrupting my PHP apps?

I'm antsy to get Python running on my webserver after just recently picking it up.

I chose Bottle.py because it looks simple, accessible, and contained. I have very little experience with or knowledge of how exactly web开发者_开发知识库servers work (how to mess with them) and I'm reluctant to play with my server's Apache if I don't need to since it hosts a very active message board already.

Bottle's documentation seemed to assume a step or two of server/python understanding that I don't have, as I'm not even sure where to put the actual routes/website content once I already have bottle.py copied over to my doc root. Or how the server knows to run bottle (or execute python) when I go to "mydomain.com".

Run it in a WSGI container such as mod_wsgi.

You can also run Apace as a proxy to your application. I believe using mod_proxy would get you there. I myself run a nginx front end as reverse proxy to a bottle application running on bjoern. Bjoern itself is quite capable of running the bottle app, so I didn't want to use mod_wsgi, and similar stuff.
