• CGI_and_mod_python

You can run the same Albatross script as a CGI or from mod_python with the following trick:

        try:
            os.environ['GATEWAY_INTERFACE']
            cgi = 1
        except:
            cgi = 0
    
        from albatross import SimpleSessionFileApp, SessionFileAppContext
        if cgi:
            from albatross.cgiapp import Request
        else:
            from albatross.apacheapp import Request

        # Page classes, application/context objects, etc here

        app = App()

        def handler(req):
           '''Called from mod_python - turn a mod_python req into an Albatross Request'''
            return do_handler(Request(req))

        def do_handler(r):
           '''Called with an Albatross Request object'''
            return app.run(r)

        if cgi:
            do_handler(Request())
