Graham Dumpleton updated MODPYTHON-143:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.3
> Implement and integrate a new module importer.
> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MODPYTHON-143
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-143
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: importer
> Affects Versions: 3.2.8
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Assigned To: Graham Dumpleton
> Fix For: 3.3
>
>
> This is an overall task to cover the issue of rectifying the various module
> importer issues by replacing it with a new implementation. A description of
> the various problems can be found in:
> http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-003.html
> Separate issues had already been created for some of the specific problems.
> These issues will now be linked to this problem and thus marked as being
> dependent on this issue.
> In other words, replacing the module importer will solve a number of number
> issues. Rather than try and keep up to date all the separate issues, all
> information about the replacement will be put against this issue instead.
> Note that there are also some issues which are not directly related to the
> module importer but which will be made dependent on this issue because it is
> easier to fix the issue as part of the rewrite of the module importer and top
> level handler dispatch mechanism than it is to address it as a distinct item.
> In respect of what impacts the new module importer implementation may have
> and how it is used may change, this will be documented in the following
> document for the time being:
> http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-007.html
> Note that this document is a work in progress. It is dense reading and
> assumes you know a bit about the current module importer and its problems.
> Any significant issues raised by this document can be added here as a
> comment, or if a general dicussion of a topic is needed, raise the issue on
> the mod_python developers mailing list.
> A possible new implementation for the module importer is basically ready for
> testing and experimentation. The intent is to push it into the mod_python
> source tree, but for its use to be optional.
> If wanting to enable it for a specific Python interpreter, the PythonImport
> directive would be used:
> PythonImport mod_python.future.importer mytestinterpreter
> If wanting to enable it for all Python interpreters, a PythonOption directive
> would be used at global scope within the Apache configuration. Ie., outside
> of all Location, Directory or Files container directives. The exact option
> name to be used hasn't yet been decided.
> More details and announcements at the appropriate time.
