Take a look at the pyth_metric_init() function in the mod_python.c module. At
the end of the function, mod_python takes all of the metric definitions and
pushes them into an APR array. Then it sets the metric_info field of the
module structure with the metric_info->elts value.
python_module.metrics_info = (Ganglia_25metric *)metric_info->elts;
Basically it is just a matter of calling the APR function
apr_array_push(metric_info); for each metric definition and then filling in the
structure that is returned.
