Yes, this did the trick.
Thanks a lot.
Funnily though "SSLOptions StdEnvVars"
was NOT set for mod_python
I was able to obtain them with
req.add_common_vars()
the only occurrences of StdEnvvars in the server's config file were:
( and no matches in any other file below /etc/pache2 )
<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</FilesMatch>
and
<Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin>
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
</Directory>
My python modules however were in a different directory and
had .py as suffix.
Thanks a lot again,
you saved my day
