[jira] Created: (MODPYTHON-88) Initialise sys.argv to a dummy value.

Initialise sys.argv to a dummy value.
-------------------------------------

         Key: MODPYTHON-88
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-88
     Project: mod_python
        Type: Improvement
  Components: core  
    Versions: 3.3    
    Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
    Priority: Minor


As mod_python isn't executed as part of a traditional command line program but is embedded into Apache, there is no actual sys.argv array for command line parameters. This though causes problems when certain third party modules are used which want for some reason to query sys.argv, eg. numarray:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-October/019401.html

and pychart:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-October/019360.html

Simple way of avoiding this would be if apache.init() method executed for each interpreter being created set sys.argv.

   sys.argv = ['mod_python']

[jira] Commented: (MODPYTHON-88) Initialise sys.argv to a dummy value.

Nicolas Lehuen commented on MODPYTHON-88:
-----------------------------------------

Note that pychart is particularly weird, since not only it looks inside sys.argv, but it also requires a value to be passed (it uses sys.argv[0]) ! Talk about reusability...
