> In the interests of avoiding name clashes, I want to push that where mod_p
ython uses its own PythonOption settings, that they use a namespace. For exa
mple:
>     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. F
or example, "session_fast_cleanup" is actually related to FileSession, so pe
rhaps 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 t
o see final attribute name settle on lower case with underscore between dist
inct words.
> We can support old names in mod_python for the time being but should depre
cate them.
> Any third party package developers should be strongly encouraged to also p
ut any of their own PythonOption settings names in their own unique namespac
e.
> Mailing list thread where this was first proposed, and in case there were 
followups of interest, was:
