[mod_python] mod_python os.environ bug?

Hi Grisha,

I'm using mod_python in conjunction with quixote
www.mems-exchange.org/software/quixote/

In moving from Apache 1.3.22/mp 2.78 to Apache 2.043/mp 3.01 I get a
TypeError on the quixote function environ.get(key, default). The default in
this function is None and this is what returns the Type Error. If I change
the default argument to an empty string everything works ok. It's been
suggested that there may be a bug in mod_python, see below:

I would guess it is a mod_python bug.  I suppose it replaces os.environ
with an object that does incorrect type checking on the second argument
to get().

Would that be right?

Thanks,
