Inline is easier to see:
script_url = environ.get('SCRIPT_URL', u'')
if not script_url:
script_url = environ.get('REDIRECT_URL', u'')
if script_url:
return force_unicode(script_url[:-len(environ.get('PATH_INFO',
''))])
return force_unicode(environ.get('SCRIPT_NAME', u''))
Line 204 is the one that returns a modified script_url based on what's in
PATH_INFO.

In my case, environ.get('SCRIPT_URL', u'') and environ.get('REDIRECT_URL',
u'') both return empty. So I don't get to line 204, I go to line 205, which
returns the correct value. I don't know what's different about my Apache
setup to result in that difference, this is a pretty bare-bones virtual host
I have set up for testing.
Since rewrites were mentioned earlier perhaps it's significant that this
Apache setup doesn't have mod_rewrite enabled.
