> Continual reloading of modules
> ------------------------------
> Create a subdirectory called "publisher". In that directory create a
> ".htaccess" file containing:
>   SetHandler python-program
>   PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
>   PythonDebug On
> Now create two subdirectories "subdir-1" and "subdir-1". In both of these
> subdirectories create an "index.py" file which contains:
>   import os
>   def index():
>     return os.getpid(),__file__
> Restart Apache to clear any cached modules and then cycle between the URLs
> corresponding to the two subdirectories. In my case this is:
>   /~grahamd/publisher/subdir-1
>   /~grahamd/publisher/subdir-2
>   /~grahamd/publisher/subdir-1
>   /~grahamd/publisher/subdir-2
>   ...
> The output for each page was in turn:
>   (462, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/subdir-1/index.py')
>   (462, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/subdir-2/index.py')
>   (462, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/subdir-1/index.pyc')
>   (462, '/Users/grahamd/Sites/publisher/subdir-2/index.pyc')
>   ...
> If you look at the Apache error log file you will see something like:

> You will see how as one cycles between the two URLs corresponding to the
> modules, that the modules are reimported everytime.
> Note that I ensured that only one Apache server process was initially
> started so that all requests served by same process. One can also see this
> is the response, which includes the process ID of the server process.
> Overall what is returned is correct, but it isn't efficient because each
> request is triggering a module import.
