[jira] Updated: (MODPYTHON-12) ImportError: cannot import name publisher
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-12?page=all ]
Graham Dumpleton updated MODPYTHON-12:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: package.diff.txt
An even simpler test for this problem is to use a publisher function defined as:
import mod_python
def index(req):
from mod_python import publisher
req.content_type = 'text/plain'
return "index %r" % dir(mod_python)
When "from mod_python import publisher" is executed it will complain it cannot find "publisher".
I have attached a fix for this problem, which hopefully can be added to 3.2.
I think this is the last problem I know of where I keeping having to use a workaround.
BTW, this is [ISSUE 6] in my article about module import problems:
http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-003.html#packages-loaded-wrongly
I might go through my list and see what other things might easily be fixed for 3.2. :-)

> ImportError: cannot import name publisher
> ------------------------------------
> In a directory publisher, setup for mod_python.publisher as described in
> previous email, and with same index.py. Ie.,
> import os
> def index():
> return os.getpid(),__file__
> Now create a parallel directory called "handler" and in its .htaccess file add:
> SetHandler python-program
> PythonHandler mptest
> PythonDebug On
> The mptest.py file in that directory should read:
> from mod_python import apache
> import os
> from mod_python import publisher
> def handler(req):
> req.content_type = "text/plain"
> req.send_http_header()
> req.write(str((os.getpid(),__file__)))
> return apache.OK
> Restart Apache to clear caches and access "handler" and "publisher"
> directories in that order. One gets:
> (747, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/handler/mptest.py')
> (747, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/index.py')
> (747, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/handler/mptest.py')
> (747, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/index.py')
> Okay, everything is fine.
> Now restart Apache to clear caches and access "publisher" and then
> "handler". Ie., in reverse order. One gets:
> (761, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/index.py')
> Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mptest"
> Traceback (most recent call last):

> from mod_python import publisher
> ImportError: cannot import name publisher
> The way in which mod_python.publisher is loaded as PythonHandler,
> if done before being imported explicitly using "import", screws up
> that latter import.
> I know some will scream that I am mixing "import" and "import_module()",
> but since mod_python.publisher is installed into "site-packages", one
> should expect it to work with "import". Whether it does is order dependent.
> Because I use mod_python.publisher in Vampire for its user authentication
> stuff, this problem means that if using Vampire and elsewhere also wanting
> to use mod_python.publisher as PythonHandler, that the Vampire area
> should be setup with its own PythonInterpreter instance.
> Having now remembered this problem, as a workaround in Vampire I
> should probably go and use:
> publisher = apache.import_module("mod_python.publisher")
> instead. At least that way it will work all the time. :-)
> I know my wanting to use internals of mod_python.publisher is the
> exception, but these sort of strange things shouldn't by right happen.
