Not it's not. There is nothing in the operating system that defines this. > is there avariable for that? i can't seem to find any... Not there's nothing in the operating system that specifies this. This is a convention that makes sense only to the apache daemon itself. If your python script is running as a CGI script, then apache will set environment variables that you can read with the os module. See the Apache docs for information on this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
