5.4.10 PythonOption

##
5.4.10 PythonOption

Syntax: PythonOption key [value]
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, htaccess
Override: not None
Module: mod_python.c

Assigns a key value pair to a table that can be later retrieved by the `req.get_options()` function. This is useful to pass information between the apache configuration files (httpd.conf, .htaccess, etc) and the Python programs. If the value is omitted or empty (`""`), then the key is removed from the local configuration.

Reserved PythonOption Keywords

Some PythonOption keywords are used for configuring various aspects of mod_python. Any keyword starting with mod_python.* should be considered as reserved for internal mod_python use.

Users are encouraged to use their own namespace qualifiers when creating add-on modules, and not pollute the global namespace.

The following PythonOption keys are currently used by mod_python.
