Jim Gallacher commented on MODPYTHON-127:
-----------------------------------------
+1
Your suggestion is logical. Explicit is better than implict.
> Use namespace for mod_python PythonOption settings.

> Key: MODPYTHON-127
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-127
> Project: mod_python
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.3
> Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
> Assigned To: Graham Dumpleton
> Fix For: 3.3
>

> In the interests of avoiding name clashes, I want to push that where mod_python uses its own PythonOption settings, that they use a namespace. For example:
> PythonOption mod_python.session_cookie_name ...
> PythonOption mod_python.ApplicationPath ...
> PythonOption mod_python.session_dbm ...
> PythonOption mod_python.session_fast_cleanup ...
> etc ....
> If appropriate for mod_python, multiple levels of naming should be used. For example, "session_fast_cleanup" is actually related to FileSession, so perhaps it should be:
> PythonOption mod_python.Session.cookie_name ...
> PythonOption mod_python.Session.application_path ...
> PythonOption mod_python.DbmSession.database ...
> PythonOption mod_python.FileSession.fast_cleanup ...
> Thus, class name is interjected as second level in name. Also would like to see final attribute name settle on lower case with underscore between distinct words.
> We can support old names in mod_python for the time being but should deprecate them.
> Any third party package developers should be strongly encouraged to also put any of their own PythonOption settings names in their own unique namespace.
> Mailing list thread where this was first proposed, and in case there were followups of interest, was:
