Setting up Python on Apache/Windows; IDE question

Question

I am finally learning Python after putting it off for a long time. I am setting it up on Apache (XAMPP), which version of mod_python should I choose?

If I get mod_python-3.3.1.win32-py2.5-Apache2.2.exe, does that mean I have to download Python 2.5 from here?

EDIT: I'll use this primarily for web development. Which IDE should I use? I like Netbeans for Java and PHP, but they don't have Python.

Do not use mod_python - it is now officially dead. You should use mod_wsgi instead. There are instructions for installing it on Windows.

For an IDE that also plays well with web development, download Aptana Studio which is built upon eclipse and then get the pydev extension for it.

And you will need the python 2.5 version as you suspect.

Wow, mod_python's last version was released more than 3 years ago. Is there another way for me to use a newer version of the interpreter in a web server?

Yes, mod_python is dead. See my answer.
