Yes I've used mod_wsgi on another project and it worked pretty well:

Not at present because we use mod-python specific stuff to insert an 
access control layer over the subsystem applications (subversion, 
moinmoin etc etc). Given that you need mod-python for this you might as 
well use it for the rest of the site (Switching to mod_wsgi or 
mod_fastcgi for the main site should be pretty easy but we haven't yet 
worked out how to put auth/access controller in front of the subsystem 
stuff without modpython).

I'm sure they are comptabile though I should say I've generally found 
getting fastcgi working more of a pain than modpython.
