[mod_python] How to make mod_python (Win32) not to relyonregistrykey?

And that, my friend, is what we call an installer :).

See Inno Setup et al. But I don't think this is what Sanja wants.

Is the SetEnv directive correctly working on Win32 ? For example, if I
have a CGI program, does it effectively receive the environment
variables set in the .conf file ? If so, I don't understand why Python
is more cooperative...

Nicolas
