Hi, Well, I had more or less come to this conclusion for the current mod_python version. Thankyou. Suggestion: Perhaps what would be handy: a special python function call, implemented via the API, to allow setting/getting of objects global to all the forked children for a particular named interpreter. These objects might be accessible through the req object, for example. I don't know enough to judge... Is this feaible? Useful (well, it would be to me...)? Easy/hard?
