Error 404 importing module from the same folder

• Key: MODPYTHON-56
• Type: Bug
• Status: Closed
• Resolution: Incomplete
• Priority: Major
• Assignee: Unassigned
• Reporter: Humberto Diogenes
• Component/s: importer
• Affects Version/s: 3.1.3, 3.1.4

Environment

Red Hat 9 + Apache 2.0.48
Debian Sarge + Apache 2.0.54

Description

Using the Publisher handler, if I try to import a module from the same directory as the script, I _sometimes_ get an "Object Not Found - Error 404" message.

It was tricky the discover that the solution was just to append the directory to PythonPath because of two problems:

 1- Sometimes it just worked! You just reloaded the page and it opened. And then you reload it again and get a 404...
 2- ModPython didn't issue _any_ error or warning about this anywhere. It just logged the usual "(re)importing module...".

Comments

Might be the same problem as MODPYTHON-9. More information
is required about the names of actual files and whether the same
named file is used in multiple directories. Specific instructions
on how to duplicate it, like as described for MODPYTHON-9 would
be required to investigate it further.

This problem may also be because of problems with PythonPath such as described in MODPYTHON-114. The lack of a way to reproduce the problem or a conclusive analysis makes it hard to know for sure which of the various known module importer problems it may be. Assume that it will be resolved by new importer when done.
