It's possible to do either. There are Apache modules that support PHP (mod_php) and Python (mod_python). Alternatively, either interpreter can be configured to run as a CGI or FastCGI executable...

Either or. PHP can be run as a CGI or as a web server (e.g. Apache) module.
There's a nice summary of the pros and cons of both approaches at http://forums.liquidweb.com/showthread.php?t=156

PHP: talks to Apache via Apache's API.
Python: there is a tool called mod_python. You could also use cgi .
