4.3 `apache` - Access to Apache Internals.

The Python Application Programmer interface to Apache internals is contained in a module appropriately named apache, located inside the mod_python package. This module provides some important objects that map to Apache internal structures, as well as some useful functions, all documented below.

The apache module can only be imported by a script running under mod_python. This is because it depends on a built-in module _apache provided by mod_python. It is best imported like this:

from mod_python import apache

mod_python.apache module defines the following objects and functions. For a more in-depth look at Apache internals, see the Shambhala API Notes

log_error(message[, level, server])

An interface to the Apache ap_log_error() function. message is a string with the error message, level is one of the following constants:

APLOG_EMERG
APLOG_ALERT
APLOG_CRIT
APLOG_ERR
APLOG_WARNING
APLOG_NOTICE
APLOG_INFO
APLOG_DEBUG
APLOG_NOERRNO

server is a reference to a Request.server object. If server is not specified, then the error will be logged to the default error log, otherwise it will be written to the error log for the appropriate virtual server.

make_table(): Returns a new empty object of type mp_table. See Section 4.3.1 for a description of a table object.
