[mod_python] Accessing objects loaded with PythonImport

Hi Lee,

Unfortunately the answer is not as simple as it seems.

Try doing this in xmlhandler.py :

from mod_python import apache

from os.path import dirname
this_directory = dirname(__file__)
site_setup = apache.import_module("site_setup",path=[this_directory])

check = str(dir())

def handler(req):
           ...
           req.write(req.interpreter + '<br />')
           req.write(check)
           ...
           return apache.OK

We use apache.import_module to import the site_setup module, looking
in the current directory for site_setup.py[cd].

Regards,
Nicolas
