Using PSE under Win32

[Eduardo Dobay]

Hello, I've been playing around with mod_python these days (using
Publisher and PSP), and it has been working smoothly under Windows XP
(using Apache 2.2). But when I installed PSE and went to use it with
mod_python, it didn't work. The error I get whenever I try to load a
PSE page is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\mod_python\importer.py", line
1537, in HandlerDispatch
default=default_handler, arg=req, silent=hlist.silent)

File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\mod_python\importer.py", line
1229, in _process_target
result = _execute_target(config, req, object, arg)

File "C:\Python25\lib\site-packages\mod_python\importer.py", line
1128, in _execute_target
result = object(arg)

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable


I thought it could be some incompatibility issue between PSE and
mod_python, but I tried both installing the PSE binary and building
the sources, and it didn't make a difference. Has anyone out there had
success using PSE under Windows?

(Just for the record, I did install matching versions, at least for
Apache (2.2.3), Python (2.5) and mod_python (3.3.1). PSE doesn't seem
to have a strict version requirement.)

What do you have PythonHandler set to and what does it identify? The
error above suggests that whatever you identify as the handler is not
a callable object like a function. Are you perhaps identifying some
sort of PSE template object as target when you shouldn't be? Post your
handler code so we can see it.

Hello, thanks for the answer. I just found the problem. I had written
in my Apache conf
PythonHandler pse_handler
because I had seen it in PSE manual. But now I tried to google some
more and found this wiki page <http://trac.gerf.org/pse/wiki/
PSE4Setup> that says that I should instead write
PythonHandler pse_handler::mp_handler

Apparently this behaviour changed in 4.0 beta (I found no mention to
it in PSE's official site), but I'm almost sure the same error
happened when I installed 3.0.6 and tried to run a test script.
Anyway, I think that's it for now.
