the other thing that the cgi driver script does that mod_python_handler.py
also needs to do is optionally read a configuration file..

demo.cgi has the line:-

# (Optional step) Read a configuration file
app.read_config("demo.conf")

Unless I've missed something, I think this also needs to be added for the
mod_python handler.

If you add a line in the httpd.conf section something like...

PythonOption config-file
d:\\\\bin\\\\python21\\\\quixote\\\\demo\\\\demo.conf

and amend mod_python_handler.handler() to something like..

def handler(req):
    opts = req.get_options()

    try:
        package = opts['quixote-root-namespace']
    except KeyError:
        package = None
+    try:
+       config_file = opts['config-file']
+    except KeyError:
+       config_file = None

    if not package:
        return apache.HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
    else:
        pub = name2publisher.get(package)
        if pub is None:
            pub = ModPythonPublisher(package)
+           if config_file:
+               pub.read_config(config_file)
            pub.setup_logs()
            name2publisher[package] = pub
        return pub.publish_modpython(req)

You might want to check config_file for more than not None.
