Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-126:
--------------------------------------------

FWIW, I think I know how to fix the above so it works. This time I stumbled 
onto the fact that in Apache one can programmatically query back through the 
contexts of directives defined in a configuration. This will allow the code 
which deals with Python*Handler directives to query back looking for the 
Directory or DirectoryMatch directive it was used in.

If it can't find either, then it would have been a Location directive and it 
now will know the URL should not be used as the handler directory. If it did 
find Directory, it could work out the argument to it and use that as the basis 
for working out the directory. Ie., it would skip past any File directives and 
go direct to the Directory context.

The only trick to solve is the best way of dealing with wildcards or regexes 
for directory. One probably has to leave it until the very point that request 
is being handled, which means that Apache wildcard/regex matching routines may 
need to be exposed in mod_python Python APIs to ensure same matching scheme can 
be used against the req.filename member.

Thus, my whole idea of being able to mark base directories as discussed on 
mailing list is no longer relevant to solving this particular issue.
