The 3.2.10 package does include some bug fixes (technically it is on the 3rd spin). The moral of the story for providers of packages is that nothing is more important than the Ubuntu schedule :-) > There haven't been any complaints about mod_python 3.3.1 The Ubuntu developers could hardly have been able to predict that a week or more before it was released! > Consider setting a special response header just when doing testing. I will actually be emitting something all the time. eg if a request must include a "foo" then I'll be stating that in the stuff that goes back. It is also helpful to distinguish "Internal Server Error" when something in Apache has messed up vs when my code messed up :-) > X-Test-Information: Some value. Yup, I have to revisit how to deal with returning error information in machine and human readable forms. Short of the status line, I guess headers are going to be the best for machine readable. Hmmm, I wonder if I could pickle an exception and traceback, base64 encode it and return in a header?
