| Allow Python code callouts with mod_include (SSI).
--------------------------------------------------
Key: MODPYTHON-104
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-104
Project: mod_python
Type: New Feature
Components: core
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
The mod_include module supporting server side includes (SSI), provides a means of registering new element tags which trigger callouts to other code in separate Apache modules. This is used for example in mod_perl to allow PERL language code to be used wit
h server side includes:
<!--#perl sub="MySSI::remote_host" -->
<!--#perl arg="Hello" arg="SSI" arg="World"
sub="sub {
my($r, @args) = @_;
print qq(@args);
}"
-->
An equivalent feature for Python was previously asked about on the mailing list back in 2004:
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/...ary/014832.html
Since it seems entirely reasonable that such integration of mod_python and mod_include would be possible, thought it would be good to log it as a possible new feature.
Because of SSI's support for basic conditionals, includes and other callout mechanisms, would be a good quick and dirty way of doing templating without having to resort to PSP, or other high level templating systems.
