Alan, Graham,
Thanks for your help with this, and sorry for the delay in responding. I
am still trying to understand what is happening here. I changed my test
script to:
from mod_python import apache
import sys, urllib, urlparse, xml.dom.pulldom, cgi, socket,
xml.sax.saxutils, StringIO, math, glob, os.path, time
ddcServer = None
resp = None
def list(req):
global ddcServer
now = str(time.time())
if ddcServer:
ddcServer.testing = "ddcServer found"
else:
ddcServer = DDCServer("ddcServer not found")
resp = '''
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html\n
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"\n
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">\n
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">\n
<head>\n
<title>ddcServerT</title>\n
<body>\n
<h1>''' + ddcServer.testing + '''</h1>
<h2>''' + now + '''</h2>
</body>
</html>\n
'''
return resp
class DDCServer(object):
def __init__(self, testing):
self.testing = testing
And wrapped it in another small bit of code (ddcServerTest.py):
from mod_python import apache
from ddcServerT2 import list
import sys, urllib, urlparse, xml.dom.pulldom, cgi, socket,
xml.sax.saxutils, StringIO, math, glob, os.path
def handle(req):
return list(req)
This is the code that gets invoked by the mod_python.publisher handler.
The key was to only import the list function and not the ddcServerT2
module.
I can't explain the results, but the first few get requests to
ddcServerTest.py produce 'ddcServer not found'. After that the global
remains resident in memory (I get ddcServer found). The display time
changes so I know it is not being cached by my browser.
Is this reliable? Any ideas why it takes a few get requests before the
global remains resident?
Thanks! harry

not sure why your code wouldn't work. I use the equivalent of the
following to get the effect you're looking for:
ddcServer = None
def handler(req):
global ddcServer
if not ddcServer :
ddcServer = DDCServer()
# ...
# ...
Incidentally, I once had problems with huge memory leaks when I wrote
code similar to yours that assigned req to a variable that persisted
across calls. They were fixed by assigning the variable to another value
before returning (strange but true):
ddcServer.req = req
ddcServer.do_GET()
ddcServer.req = None
