[mod_python] Document root

The document root is returned by the req.document_root() function. But
it seems I should be able to obtain the document root without needing a
request object, since such a value applies to Apache itself. Is there a
way of getting Apache internal values ? I do see the Apache functions
but the explanation of what some of these return, such as config_tree(),
seem pretty sparse and I have the feeling that such values are available
somehow. Does anybody know how I might obtain the document root without
a request object, as well as access to other Apache internal values ?
