file handling in a server (.py) file using xmlrpc
I've got a call to glob in a .py file sitting in an apache cgi-bin directory which refuses to work while the exact same code works from a python console session. I'm guessing that in order to read or write files from any sort of a script file sitting in the cgi-bin directory on a server, something has to be set to allow such activity. I'd appreciate it if anybody with as clue as to what that was could tell me about it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Thanks! Thing does work when I do globs of the local apache directories.
