[mod_python] python module loaded, but not parsed (huh?)

The reason is that the user of my interface shouldn't have to care
about things like a "req" object as well as applications using the
interface should work without any change of code. Therefore,
server-specific things must be done while importing the container, as
there is, for example, setting the global name 'handler'.

Oops, my mistake! It was an untested example. In my other code, I pass
sys.modules[cls.__module__] to loadmodule(), not cls.__module__
itself. Sorry for confusion!
The strange thing is still the same: Why is the module string of the
metaclass module being passed to loadmodule instead of the module
string of the class object being created by the metaclass,
cls.__module__? I can't see a solution for this! :(
