Graham Dumpleton commented on MODPYTHON-161:
--------------------------------------------
The directory supplied to req.register_input_filter() and req.register_output_filter() also needs to be canonicalised (made POSIX style) and trailing slash added to fix issues with PythonInterpPerDirective.
The issues with Win32 backward slash versus forward slash are a non issue for directory derived from directive specified in configuration as that was to do with incomplete changes related to MODPYTHON-126, which has since been addressed.
> Wrong interpreter chosen with req.add_handler()/PythonInterpPerDirective.

> return apache.OK
> when select_interp_name() in src/mod_python.c tries to determine the interpreter name, for PythonInterPerDirective, it will use the value as supplied as directory argument to req.add_handler(). In doing this though, it doesn't consider the fact that the
directory may not have a trailing slash and since interpreter names for PythonInterpPerDirective always have a trailing slash, the handler will not be executed in correct interpreter context.

> A further problem is that normally the path indicating where a directive was defined is internally calculated from Apache configuration and thus always uses POSIX directory conventions, ie., forward slash. If the above code were run on Win32, the direct
ory calculated from __file__ is going to most likely use DOS directory conventions, ie., backward slash. Thus, even if a trailing slash were to be added, it still will not work because the remainder of the path is going to use backward slash and thus the
interpreter name still will not match what it probably should be.
> The main purpose of the directory argument to req.add_handler() is to know where to find the module referenced in the handler argument. In this case it is also used to determine the Python interpreter name. The fix may be that the interpreter name be de
termined in some other way based on the interpreter in use when the req.add_handler() call was made.
> This is just part of problems I can possibly see with calculation of interpreter names for handlers. More on this another time. :-)
