It looks like quite similar to http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3821,
so I added some comments there. To me it currently looks like it's
impossible to have short URLs with mod_python. At least with the
recent set of apache/mod_python/trac versions I'm trying it with.
As a temporary
Somehow apache never asks for the
username/password, it seems to delegate the request to mod_python/trac
to see whether there exists a valid /login request and this never
returns.
Try moving the /login section *before* the / section.
Cheers,
Manu
