In PSP pages, 'import' doesn't map through to apache.import_module().

                 Key: MODPYTHON-220
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-220
             Project: mod_python
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: psp
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1
            Reporter: Graham Dumpleton


When Python code appears in SSI files, a trick is performed such that the 
Python code in the SSI files is seen as having been originally imported using 
the new module importer. This means that if 'import' is used with the Python 
code, it will map through to apache.import_module() and first use that 
mechanism to try and import code modules. This trick is not performed for PSP 
pages however.

What needs to be done for PSP pages is the equivalent of the SSI trick:

            class _InstanceInfo:

                def __init__(self, label, file, cache):
                    self.label = label
                    self.file = file
                    self.cache = cache
                    self.children = {}

            filter.req.ssi_globals["__file__"] = filter.req.filename
            filter.req.ssi_globals["__mp_info__"] = _InstanceInfo(
                    None, filter.req.filename, None)
            filter.req.ssi_globals["__mp_path__"] = []

What this is doing is setting up in the environment of the SSI code object the 
magic variables that 'import' hook looks for to allow it to map to 
apache.import_module().

If same done in PSP pages then 'import' will map to apache.import_module() for 
PSP pages also as first step.
