The new Kupu site
=================

The new Kupu site uses Apache and mod_python to generate HTML from ReStructured
Text files, which are stored in Subversion and have Subversion metadata 
attached to them. The mod_python handler system use Python decorators to stack
functionality on simple data loading request handlers, creating chains, or
pipes, through which the data is led. Each of those decorators perform a
special task (if appropriate), which can vary from adding body elements, to
checking whether a file exists, to caching data.

    * `Apache 2.x`_
