I remember that there is a new directive to tell python/MP where the modules are, sys.path should NOT be included, I looked it up in my config and you should set the following line in your GLOBAL apache config PythonOption mod_python.importer.path ["/Users/me/Sites/www/python/"] The pythonPath works with the old importer, and the above is Used in the new 3.3 Importer That should do the job for you... Let me know if there are more questions Martijn (I am trying to contribute as much as I can to help, especially whilst Graham is away, I am a havy 3.3 user, but don't know everything either) -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: mod_python-bounces at modpython.org [mailto:mod_python-bounces at modpython.org] Namens Jim Gallacher Verzonden: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 18:30 Aan: Dirk van Oosterbosch, IR labs CC: mod_python list Onderwerp: Re: [mod_python] PythonPath and importer in 3.3 Dirk van Oosterbosch, IR labs wrote: > Hi, > > I am not sure if this the right list to ask, since 3.3 is still in beta, > but after reading the documentation about PythonPath and import_module > I'm running into problems as I try to follow the directions expressed in > the documentation. 3.3 is out of beta and will be released as 3.3.1. There are no changes from 3.3.0b except the version strings. We're just waiting for Grisha to make the official announcement. Graham is the guy that really understands the new importer, but he is heading off on holiday (or may in fact already be gone). In the worst case scenario you can revert to the 3.2.10 importer behaviour by using the following directive: PythonOption mod_python.legacy.importer * Hopefully we can muddle through before Graham gets back, but at least you won't be completely stuck. I have no time to investigate right now but I'll try to take a look tonight.
