Hi,
I'm running Python 2.3.5/2.4.2 on OSX 10.4.2, and am trying to run CGI
scripts using the builtin Apache. For ease, I've symlinked my custom
modules into the /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages directory, and they
import OK via command line python. However, when I perform the import
from a cgi script, python fails to find the module. It is definately
something to do with the symlink, as the CGI works OK if I copy the
directory into site-packages. Is there some oddness with Python/Apache
and symlink imports?
Any pointers would be most useful.
Thanks
J

Not sure if that is the case here, but I know that apache has some
directives that are named FollowSymlinks and the like - might be that
this affects your situation.

If running OS supplied Apache, it runs as the user "www". Because this
isn't you or root, check that the directory your symlink points at is
accessible to others as well as any directories above it back up to the
root directory. If it isn't accessible, the user Apache runs as will
not
be able to find and use the files. When you are copying the directory
you are possibly giving it read access for others in the process and
that is why it works then.

Yup, that's the problem. Just got to figure out OSX's permissions, now.
Thank you!

My company maintains a small RDBS driven website. We currently generate

of it.

Howdy all,
I'm working on a web application that is starting to gain a lot of
back-end code written in Python. However, all the current interface
code is written in legacy PHP. I'd like to slowly introduce new
features as Python WSGI programs.
Is it possible to write a Python WSGI program that talks to a PHP
program as its "back end"? Where can I find out how to do this,
preferably with examples?

The major complaint I have about Python is that the packages
which connect it to other software components all seem to have
serious problems. As long as you don't need to talk to anything
outside the Python world, you're fine. But once you do, things
go downhill. MySQLdb has version and platform compatibility
problems. So does M2Crypto. The built-in SSL support is weak.
Even basic sockets don't quite work right; the socket module...

Not many people are bit-fiddling these days. One of the main uses of bit
fields is flags, but that's not often done in Python because of keyword
arguments and dicts, which are lot more versatile. Another major use,
talking to hardware, is not something oft done in Python either.
It seems like this occasional usage wouldn't justify having built-in...
