> Key: MODPYTHON-164
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-164
> Project: mod_python

> 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".
