[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-164?page=all ]
Work on MODPYTHON-164 started by Graham Dumpleton. > Allow req.add_handler()/req.register_*_filter() to take module/function for > handler. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MODPYTHON-164 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-164 > Project: mod_python > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: core > Reporter: Graham Dumpleton > Assigned To: Graham Dumpleton > > Currently, the: > req.add_handler(phase, handler, dir) > req.register_input_filter(filter_name, filter, dir) > req.register_output_filter(filter_name, filter, dir) > functions require the handler/filter to be a string. This string identifies > the module that should be imported and which contains the necessary function, > plus optionally, an alternate named function to the default for the phase or > filter type. For example: > req.add_handler("PythonHandler", "mymodule::myhandler") > It would be simpler if the handler/filter argument could be overloaded and > instead supplied an actual module reference or callable object reference. For > example: > import mymodule > def myhandler(req): > ... > def fixuphandler(req): > req.add_handler("PythonHandler", mymodule) > req.add_handler("PythonHandler", mymodule.myhandler) > req.add_handler("PythonHandler", myhandler) > return apache.OK > This would be easier than having to construct a string module/function > reference when you have direct access to the handler function. > In the main the "dir" argument would be irrelevant. The only circumstance > where it would matter is where PythonInterpPerDirective was used as it could > be used to control the interpreter the code executed within. If not supplied, > it could be argued that the directory where the supplied module/function is > defined in should be used as "dir". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
