Grisha, do you remember why the following warning is present in
directive_PythonInputFilter() and directive_PythonOutputFilter() of
"mod_python.c".

would have to make sure not to duplicate this */
Having input/output filters be able to be specified in .htaccess
must have been considered, but there must have been some issue
with it that prevented it being done at the time.
I think it was because if specified in .htaccess, that code would be
executed for every request and something would need to be done to make
sure ap_register_input_filter() is only called once. I don't remember the
intricate details at this point, and it's possible that this warning is
unnecessary either because I didn't understand something or perhaps the
way Apache works has changed. In any event, I'd do some careful
investigating before disregarding that NOTE :)
