Put logging initialisation in a completely separate module outside of document tree and not inside of the handler code files. Setup PythonPath if need be where that separate module is located, and then have handler code files import that module from that other location. This should ensure that the logging initialisation code is imported and run only once per process. If you intentionally then change the logging initialisation module code, you will need to restart Apache. > Im seeing the same 'multiplicity' issue when I open a socket while in handler > function. This is really what trigger the question. That I can't explain at this point. I was assuming that your duplicated logging may have been confusing the issue. > Thanks, > > David > > > > > On Sunday 29 March 2009 05:45:01 am Graham Dumpleton wrote: >> >> If you change a mod_python handler script, it will be automatically >> reloaded.
