I didn't do the Apache setup for this it was done by the hosting company and apparently they don't know that much about Python and mod_python, so I'm stuck I only have access to a .htaccess file and my own code.

.htaccess

AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler wsgiref.modpython_gateway::handler
PythonOption wsgi.application code::main

code.py

#!/usr/bin/python
import web

urls = (
    '/(.*)', 'hello'
)

main = web.wsgifunc(web.webpyfunc(urls, globals()))

class hello:
    def GET(self, name):
        if not name:
            name = 'Pussy'
        return 'Hello, '+ name +'!'

#if __name__ == "__main__":
    #main = web.wsgifunc(web.webpyfunc(urls, globals()))

Error message I'm seeing when loading the code.py file

MOD_PYTHON ERROR

What am I missing? Im using http://webpy.org/deployment as a reference. Server environment

  • Do you really have to use mod_python? That hasn't been the way to deploy Python apps on Apache for many years. Can you not use mod_wsgi? Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 9:01
  • You only define main if it is in the main interpreter scope (if __name__ == "__main__":) but the code module is being imported. Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 9:57
  • Daniel, mod_python is the only way with this hosting company. I could move away but they also run the mail server and other things I'd have to move as well Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 10:01
  • systemjack I changed it but still same error AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'main' Commented Mar 2, 2017 at 10:05
  • webpy.org/deployment has a warning, "Be sure to visit /code.py/ with an extra / on the end. Otherwise you'll see an error message." Commented Mar 4, 2017 at 17:47
