> By default VirtualHosts use distinct Python interpreter instances. Thanks for that, Graham. That stuff about Python interpreter instances was really helpful, and started us hunting down the right track. Anyway, the problems we were having were caused by: 1) Moving/renaming our root code directory without deleting the *.pyc files. I think this was adding to the confusion because we were seeing some path strings from the .pyc files in the error messages. 2) Using mod_python 3.3 on our development servers and something older on our live one. I think this was confusing us with regard to the import problem and PythonPath. 3) Relying on relative paths in a few places in our actually (actually in web.py's template handling, which we're using). We used os.chdir() to set the current working directory, but of course (we realise now) that the cwd is process-dependent rather than Python-interpreter dependent. So depending on which process Apache picked, it'd use the other virtual host's template directory and confuse everyone. I think I'll tell the web.py people that depending on relative paths is pretty much a bug (at least with mod_python -- maybe that's why they haven't seen the bug). Anyone else using mod_python with web.py, just out of curiosity? Anyway, it's fixed, and I've got my head around PythonInterpreter and PythonPath and various other things now. Cheers! Overriding import is more complicated than just replacing __import__. ;-) I suspected that was the case. Looks like you've been there and done that.
