[mod_python] 3.1.1b Feedback

Hi Grisha

Since I was one of the complainers about the session locks in 3.1.0a,
I'm happy to confirm that 3.1.1b now works for me. Thanks!

The server startup log is given below. I don't actually use the
mod_python sessions, so for me it would still be useful to be able to
turn that feature off. But that is just a minor footnote :-)

I noticed another surprising behaviour relating to the PythonImport and
PythonPath directives (not new with 3.1.1b though):

For a Directory directive in the main httpd.conf file e.g.

<Directory /usr/mypath/>
       SetHandler python-program
       AddHandler python-program .py
       PythonInterpPerDirective On
       PythonHandler myhandler
       DirectoryIndex myhandler.py
       PythonInterpPerDirectory On

# Name of the interpreter
       PythonInterpreter default_interp
       PythonPath "sys.path+['/usr/mypath']"
</Directory>
# Init for the 'default' server
PythonImport server_init default_interp

The PythonImport directive loads the file /usr/mypath/server-init.py
into the default_interp interpreter. If the PythonPath directive is
omitted, this import fails. 

Cheers

Conrad
