[mod_python] Newbie - Screen resoultion

Using mod_python does not make apache suddenly clairvoyant. The request
object only has access to what the HTTP request tells it, and screen
resolution is nowhere in that protocol. The javascript you refer to runs
*inside* the client browser, which *does* have access to such
information. This is the only way to do what you're asking.

As an aside, I've never seen a good use for determining client screen
resolution. You should consider carefully your design and decide if this
is really necessary or if you're using it to compensate for some other
design decision that simply flawed.
