Hi Graham,
Could I trouble you to bring up those issues again? I did a quick
search and assume you're talking about this comment of yours:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/#c2029
And:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/faq/#c2813
The latter comments are relevant to actual Django source code as it
appears to rely internally on being able to pass information around in
os.environ. If such information is different for different requests,
this will be a problem in a multithreaded Apache MPM such as worker on
UNIX or winnt on Windows. The problems with worker MPM suggested by
first link above may well be accounted for by use of os.environ if
Django is relying on it in some way. But then, the problem should also
affect winnt MPM on Windows as well as it also is multithreaded, but
there has been no suggestion of problems on Windows, only worker MPM on
UNIX. This is why the inability of anyone to clarify why the worker MPM
shouldn't be used is a bit frustrating.
For the record, I should state I don't use Django myself, I only keep
an eye out for any connections between it and mod_python and try and
correct any wrong comments about mod_python I see.
Graham
