Nothing strange here AFAICT.

can anybody explain me.
index.py
************************************************** *******************************************
from mod_python import apache
from mod_python import psp
from mod_python import util

def index(req, para=None):
tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename='a.html')
tmpl.run(vars = {'para':para})
tmpl.run()

Here, you call tmpl.run() two time, the first time with a dict having an
entry named 'param', the second time without it.

a.htm
************************************************** *******************************************

(snip)

<BODY>
<h1><%=para%></h1>

And here you try to display something named "para". I don't have much
knowledge of PSP, but I have enough experience to assert this try to get
the entry named "param" from the dict passed to tmpl.run().

(snip)

Result

(snip)

File "E:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\index.py", line 8, in index
tmpl.run()

Here we are : line 8 of index.py, your second call to tmpl.run() without
the dict.

File "E:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\mod_python\psp.py", line 213, in
run exec code in global_scope
File "E:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\test\a.html", line 1, in ?
NameError: name 'para' is not defined

and here the tentative to get this name from the dict.

Doesn't seem so strange to me. Note that I could be wrong - you'd better
check in PSP documentation - but I think I'd try commenting out the
second (and AFAICT useless) call to tmpl.run().
