Thanks for your reply, and you anticipated my follow up question. A brief look found how to read an enviro var from python:
os.environ['USER'] give me $USER from the OS it appears (haven't tried it yet). BUT, I also took a close look at the request.META data, wondering if there isn't something in there. Sure enough, I found the strangely named META variable "_" (underscore) which exists when the request is handled by the dev server, whose value is "manage.py" When the same thing is requested through mod_python + apache2, I see that META['_'] doesn't exist. So I could test for the existence of underscore in the meta tags I guess. But perhaps using an enviro variable is a more elegant approach. Thx for the info... Ross.
