Initialise sys.argv to a dummy value.
-------------------------------------

Key: MODPYTHON-88
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-88
Project: mod_python
Type: Improvement
Components: core
Versions: 3.3
Reporter: Graham Dumpleton
Priority: Minor


As mod_python isn't executed as part of a traditional command line program b
ut is embedded into Apache, there is no actual sys.argv array for command li
ne parameters. This though causes problems when certain third party modules 
are used which want for som
e reason to query sys.argv, eg. numarray:

and pychart:

http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/...ber/019360.html

Simple way of avoiding this would be if apache.init() method executed for ea
ch interpreter being created set sys.argv.

sys.argv = ['mod_python']
