And in addition to running the unit tests, try running your actual web
site with this release. That usually manages to bring up things the
developers never thought of - so that we can extend the unit tests with
those cases as well. I can imagine that some code may depend on some
specific behaviour of FieldStorage for example.

mod_python-3.3.0-dev-20060321 is available for testing.
We are asking the mod_python development community for assistance in
testing the current development branch. Hopefully this will allow us to
catch new bugs or regressions early, and when we are ready for the next
release the beta cycle will be much shorter.
This snapshot addresses 33 issues since 3.2.7 was released, including
apache 2.2 support and the introduction of a new module importer.
The files are (temporarily) available here:
http://people.apache.org/~jgallacher/mod_python/dist/
Please download it, then do the usual
$ ./configure --with-apxs=/wherever/it/is
$ make
$ (su)
# make install
Then (as non-root user!)
$ make check
or if you prefer to run the tests the old way:
$ cd test
$ python test.py
Make a note of any failing tests.
If all the tests pass, give the new module importer a workout by
uncommenting line 328 in test/test.py:
#PythonOption('mod_python.future.importer *'),
and then re-run the tests.
$ make check
And see if any tests fail. If they pass, send a +1 to the list, if they
fail, send the details (the versions of OS, Python and Apache, the test
output, and suggestions, if any).
Thank you for your assistance,
Jim Gallacher
