[mod_python] req.write() in use by PSP

Sun Jul 29 13:35:04 EDT 2007

Hi

I've run into a problem trying to embed long lasting functions in my .psp files.
As far as I know, the req.write() method sends data directly to the client, with no buffering.

I have the following code:

<html>
<body>
<%
import time
%>
for i in range(10):
    time.sleep(5)
%>
<p>Hello, my name is Joe</p>
<%

%>
</body>
</html>

I expect it to write the above paragraph in 5-second intervals, but it seems that mod_python waits until the last command executes, then sends the whole content.

Is there any way to reconfigure the psp handler to disable buffering or do I have to rewrite it?

My apache and mod-python config is quite default, handler configuration is exactly the same as in PSP tutorial.

I'm using:
Apache 2.2.4
mod_python 3.3.1
Python 2.5

Other Apache modules are:
mod_ssl
mod_php
mod_perl
