First of all : Thanks, Elan for your help. 


I  found a  better solution,  maybe you  can try  it and  tell me  if it
works for you. 

It appears that some directives, such as those :

		PythonDebug On
		PythonAutoReload On
		PythonOption Hello World

have to appear included in this directive :

	<Files *>
		PythonPath "sys.path + ['/var/www/lhassa/web2'] + ['/var/www/lhassa']"
		PythonDebug On
		PythonAutoReload On
		PythonOption Hello World
	</Files>

to be really activated.

Demonstration with this uggly small piece of code :

<code>
        ret = "<br/>Config :<br/>"
        conf = self._req.get_config()
        for key in conf.keys() :
            ret = ret + "Cnf : " + key + " = " + conf[key] + "<br/>"
        ret = ret + "<br/>Options :<br/>"
        options = self._req.get_options()
        for key in options.keys() :
            ret = ret + "Opt : " + key + " = " + options[key] + "<br/>"
</code>

that returns :

<output>
Config :
Cnf : PythonPath = sys.path + ['/var/www/lhassa/web2'] + ['/var/www/lhassa']
Cnf : PythonDebug = 1
Cnf : PythonAutoReload = 1

Options :
Opt : Hello = World
</output>

When those variables are included in <Files *> directive, and returns :

<output>
Config :
Cnf : PythonPath = sys.path + ['/var/www/lhassa/web2'] + ['/var/www/lhassa']

Options :
</output>

when they are not. 

Notice that my PythonPath directive was yet included in the <Files *> directive. 


Find below an extract from the documentation :

<extract>
5.4.10 PythonOption

Syntax: PythonOption key value
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, htaccess
Override: not None
Module: mod_python.c

Assigns a key value  pair to a table that can be  later retrieved by the
req.get_options() function.  This is useful to  pass information between
the  apache configuration  files  (httpd.conf, .htaccess,  etc) and  the
Python programs.
</extract>

Hope it helps.
