Maybe I did not explain things very well? I am using mod_python.publisher, which does its magic calling my functions automagically. In my called functions, I simply return a string.

I hardcoded them because I sort of hacked this together about 4 or so years ago -- you learn a lot in four years. Would I hardcode the server name today - well no:). (But this is not relevant to my question, imo). As I mentioned, the typical approach with Publisher is to have a > function return a string (the web page) to the browser.

But the problem is, I have this string scattered through a handful of modules. Yeah, I'll fix them correctly in the future. For now I need a bandaid. I have that bandaid, a modified copy of mod_python's publisher.py. Yeah, it'd be better to fix the website, but I'm in a time crunch. Plus, publisher.py is well written / commented. So plugging in my fix well was simple - about 4 lines IIRC. (Nice job mod_python developers!) In the end, I guess there is no way to intercept the `req.write' call before the publisher makes it.
