Make apache._server/apace._interpreter part of public API.
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-144
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-144
Project: mod_python
Type: Improvement
Components: core
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
Assigned to: Graham Dumpleton
Within the mod_python.apache module there exists two private variables called
"_server" and "_interpreter". These are initialised when an interpreter is
first created. The variables are set to be an instance of the mod_python
"serverobject" and the name of the interpreter. In effect, these would be the
same as are available to a request handler as "req.server" and
"req.interpreter".
The problem with those in the "req" object is that they are only available to
the request handler. If these variables in the "mod_python.apache" module are
made part of the public API, they would then be accessible by any code. Since
"server.get_options()" now exists and "server.get_config()" works properly,
making these public would allow code running at global scope when a module is
being imported to consult the server level config and/or options to customise
their runtime behavour.
Thus, proposed that these variables be renamed to "apache.server" and
"apache.interpreter".
