Not addressing the segfault, couldn't you handle globals in the python
program itself? I do this for database handles my self:
from mod_python import apache
import MySQLdb
db = MySQLdb.connect("yada yada")
def handler(req):
do cool db stuff with req here
I do this often, and I've checked that each request doesn't generate a
db connection by watching the MySQL number of connects. One thing to
keep in mind is that a db handle may go stale if not used by some
databases, so be sure to add some code to test out the db handle each
request and reconnect if needed. The DB API 2.0 spec doesn't define a
ping method like perl's DBI does, so I usually add one myself for this.

Subject: [mod_python] Segfault when using PythonImport directive
I'm using mod_python 3.0.0 BETA 2 with Apache 2.0.42 and encountering a
segfault every time I try to use the PythonInclude directive. The
segfault occurs even when I try to have Apache do a configuration syntax
check (/usr/apache2/bin/apachectl configtest). I've narrowed it down to
a single PythonInclude line. This is the <Directory> directive in which
the PythonInclude directive appears:
<Directory /var/www/publisher>
AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
PythonInterpPerDirective On
PythonImport globals
</Directory>
If I comment out the "PythonImport globals" line, everything runs fine.
Here's the contents of my /var/www/publisher directory:
rmunn at localhost:/var/www/publisher$ ls -l
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 rmunn users 12 Oct 7 19:22 globals.py
-rw-r--r-- 1 rmunn users 133 Oct 8 12:26 tryme.py
rmunn at localhost:/var/www/publisher$ cat globals.py
foo = 'bar'
rmunn at localhost:/var/www/publisher$ cat tryme.py
def show(req, name):
try:
return str(globals.foo)
except AttributeError, NameError:
return str(dir(globals))
As you can see, what I'm trying to do is have some global variables
pre-defined in my mod_python scripts; I plan on using this to accomplish
expensive operations (like opening database connections) once per apache
process child instead of once per request.
Here's the gdb backtrace of my segfault. I'm running httpd -t to only
get a configuration syntax check and it's still failing. Any ideas?
