> mod_python provides the PythonEnablePdb option for enabling of the Python 
> debugger. For it to work properly though, it is necessary to start httpd from 
> the command line with the -DONE_PROCESS option. If one doesn't do this though 
> and enables PythonEnablePdb when Apache is running normally, any request to a 
> URL for which the debugger is enabled will yield a 500 error. The details of 
> the 500 error will be:
>   Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mptest"
>   Traceback (most recent call last):
>     File 
> "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py",
>  line 313, in HandlerDispatch
>       assert (type(result) == type(int())), \
>   AssertionError: Handler 'mptest' returned invalid return code.
> This error message isn't particularly helpful in understanding that the 
> problem is that the debugger can't be run in this mode.
> To avoid this problem at the moment, all that can be done is for the user to 
> know that their Apache configuration should actually say:
>   <IfDefine ONE_PROCESS>
>   PythonEnablePdb On
>   </IfDefine>
> This would mean they could leave the Apache configuration set the one way and 
> not have to worry.
> What could instead be done in mod_python though is simply to ignore the 
> PythonEnablePdb option and that it is set if Apache hasn't been run in 
> ONE_PROCESS mode. Thus, presuming that MODPYTHON-89 has been implemented, the 
> mod_python code in mod_python.apache in the number of places where it occurs, 
> could say:
>                 # call the object
>                 if exists_config_define("ONE_PROCESS") and 
> config.has_key("PythonEnablePdb"):
>                     result = pdb.runcall(object, conn)
>                 else:
>                     result = object(conn)
