mod_python Unable to create file

[kaush]

Hi,

I am using Apache and mod_python to service POST/GET requests on MAC
OS. My script tries to create a file

file = open(file_path, 'w')

This fails with the following error

EACCES
Permission denied

What is missing?

Thanks,
Kaushik

Thanks Marc.
In Apache what are the ways/directives to set the rights to a folder?

urlsafe_b64decoding of xml node text

[kaush]

Hi All,

I am running Apache with mod_python. A post message to my server
contains an xml of the form

(some base64 ur-safe-encoded data)


I use minidom to parse the xml posted, and now try to decode the data
using the following

import minidom
import base64

decData = base64.urlsafe_b64decode(data) #data is the above mentioned
url-safe-encoded data

This line fails with the following error

Error : 
Error : character mapping must return integer, None or unicode
Error : 

If i run the same data through a script on the terminal, I am able to
successfully decode the data.

What could be the reason for this error? Can it be because of some
encoding introduced by minidom?

I think urlsafe_b64decode takes ascii string.

Thanks,
Kaushik

ImportError while Embedding python in C

[kaush]

Hi All,

I have a simple python script saved to "test.py" as

import os
import base64

def Testfunction():
print "Hello World"
return

Testfunction()

I am trying to invoke this from a C program as follows

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
Py_Initialize();

PyObject* main_module = PyImport_AddModule("__main__");

PyObject* main_dict = PyModule_GetDict(main_module);

FILE* file_1 = fopen(TestFile, "r");
PyRun_AnyFile(file_1, TestFile);

Py_Finalize();

return 0;
}

This fails with the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/kaushik/shadowFs/test.py", line 4, in 
import base64
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/base64.py", line 9, in 
import struct
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/struct.py", line 30, in 
from _struct import Struct, error
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_struct.so:
undefined symbol: PyExc_TypeError

I am able to run test.py successfully from the shell.

What am i missing in importing the base64 library?

Thanks,
Kaushik

Adding the following link options during compilation solved the
problem "-Xlinker -export-dynamic"
