Hmmm, I didn't think you were wanting to go to that level of customisation.
I've only mocked up the idea, it would probably be between 5-8 hours work to finish it as described.
If you do, I would suggest that we add a new directive to mod_python called something like PythonExceptionHandler. The idea being that details of any exception be supplied to your user supplied handler and everything is left up to you as to how you render the page. I suggest this as I'm not real keen on an approach whereby it depends on you having a special exception.html file somewhere as that approach may not work in a lot of situations. By using a handler, you can still use the approach you suggest, but that is up to you and it wouldn't be dictating a specific way of doing things on people that may not work for everyone.
That is an excellent idea. I should have thought of it, except as usual I get in a rut of trying to solve a problem one way without first stopping and looking at the other solutions. However, it means you will have to go to a lot of trouble to get something like I described above, which while not working for everyone, would be nice for most people. So how about a compromise. Use the PythonExceptionHandler but make the handler I described as an example in the docs, with a link to download exception.html. I'll strike a balance between using python and javascript so as to save myself some effort, people can modify either at their discretion that way. That way anyone can easily use that as a base (or as-is) for their handler if they like. Then more people than just myself will be able to benefit from my work, which is rather overkill for just me :) What do you think? -Dan
