Sorry for the flurry of JIRA emails on the list, but I have been
doing some housework
and drawn a line in the sand in respect of what I see as the
remaining tasks that
should be attempted for mod_python 3.3. These are:
MODPYTHON-109 Signal handler calling Py_Finalize() when child
processes being killed.
MODPYTHON-127 Use namespace for mod_python PythonOption settings.
MODPYTHON-159 multiline headers in multipart/form not handled
MODPYTHON-128 Have assigning req.filename automatically update
req.finfo.
MODPYTHON-182 Memory leak in request readline()
MODPYTHON-180 publisher wrongly generating warning that there is
'nothing to publish'
MODPYTHON-93 Improve util.FieldStorage efficiency
You can see the actual details by going to:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON
and click on the link for items scheduled for 3.3. In that list you
will also see:
MODPYTHON-63 Handle wildcard in Directory to sys.path transfer
MODPYTHON-104 Allow Python code callouts with mod_include (SSI).
MODPYTHON-143 Implement and integrate a new module importer.
These haven't been marked as resolved yet, but work has been done.
Minor tweaks
may still need to be done on new importer, plus it may now also be
made the default
for mod_python 3.3 where wasn't necessarily expecting that to be the
case up till
now. Documentation for SSI and new importer also need to be done and
in the case
of SSI is the only reason it hasn't been marked as resolved.
For those who are interested, please go through all the other open/
reopened items and
see if there is anything else you would especially like to see make
it into 3.3 and we can
have a look at what is involved and see whether we want to attempt to
do it or not.
In respect of above, if someone other than the core developers would
like to volunteer
to come up with an updated patch for MODPYTHON-159 that would be
great. Other
than that everything else is probably in hand, although some feedback
on MODPYTHON-127
in respect to how to nicely migrate from old option naming to new
would help.
Thanks in advance.
Graham
