I vaguely remembered that mod_python can do such things. Looking again it seems to be the case: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-filter.html > Or possibly use Python for writing a custom Apache > logger. [...] Maybe http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/dir-handlers-plh.html The documentation about this is a joke, though. Remember that you can write custom Apache loggers quite easily with "piped logs": http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html This looks roughly like this: CustomLog "|/path/to/my_script.py" common ## begin my_script.py ## import sys for line in sys.stdin: # do stuff ## end ## -- Gerhard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
