What you are seeing is normal, especially if you are using the "prefork" mode of Apache. What you will probably find is that each line of output was from a different Apache child subprocess. The order in which sys.path is constructed will be dependent upon the order in which separately configured request handlers are visited by incoming requests. Thus sys.path order is to a degree random as far as directories corresponding to handlers. This is actually a bad thing and source of various problems. Changes speculated on for mod_python 3.3/4.0 may improve this situation hopefully. It is recommended you ask questions about mod_python on the mod_python mailing list and not me direct. So please get on the mailing list if you can and post any followups or further questions there. Graham On 13/09/2005, at 7:42 PM, Michal J.
