> After building mod_python it will output the message:
>   Now su and make install
>     (or, if you only want to perform a partial install,
>      you can use make install_dso and make install_py_lib)
> The fact that there are separate targets for install_dso and
> install_py_lib gives the impression that install_dso will
> install only the Apache DSO module and that install_py_lib
> will install only the Python code files. This isn't the case.
> Although install_py_lib installs just the Python code files,
> the install_dso target installs both the DSO module and
> the Python code files. The install_dso target isn't actually
> much different to having run install when DSO is being used
> in that respect.
> As the ability to install just the DSO is useful, can there
> please be a separate target. Either this should be changed
> to do what it suggests it should, or a new target introduced.
> Ie., install_dso_and_just_the_dso. :-)
