root/modpython_gateway.py

"""
WSGI wrapper for mod_python. Requires Python 2.2 or greater.


Example httpd.conf section for a CherryPy app called "mcontrol":

<Location /mcontrol>
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonFixupHandler mcontrol.cherry::startup
    PythonHandler modpython_gateway::handler
    PythonOption wsgi.application cherrypy._cpwsgi::wsgiApp
</Location>

Some WSGI implementations assume that the SCRIPT_NAME environ variable will
always be equal to "the root URL of the app"; Apache probably won't act as
you expect in that case. You can add another PythonOption directive to tell
modpython_gateway to force that behavior:

    PythonOption SCRIPT_NAME /mcontrol
