combining mod_python handlers publisher and psp problem

[exhuma.twn]

Simple problem:

When I define a funtion the way you would with the publisher handler
(without using psp), all works as expected. However when I define a
publisher-like function and instantiate a PSP object in it ( as
suggested on

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2004/02/26/python_server_pages.html

) mod_python seems to fail to tell the browser which content-type the
document has. The output is what I expect it to be, but instead of
rendering the page I see the source code, so I suppose the browser sees
it as "text/python" or "text/plain".

I tried to do a

print "Content-Type: text/html"
print

as first statement, but then it only outputs that as normal text too.

Any ideas?

Update:
I got it working. My old code was as follows:

def index(req, name='John'):
s = 'Hello, there!'
if name:
names = ['a', 'b', 'c']
s = 'Hello, %s!' % name.capitalize ()
tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename='index .psp')
tmpl.run(vars = { 'greet': s, 'names': names })
return

Now I did this:

def index(req, name='John'):
s = 'Hello, there!'
if name:
names = ['a', 'b', 'c']
s = 'Hello, %s!' % name.capitalize ()
tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename='index .psp',
vars = { 'greet': s, 'names': names })
return tmpl

So basically I assigned the variables on instantiation of the PSP
object and returned the resulting reference. This is different to what
is noted at onlamp.com

Re: combining mod_python handlers publisher and psp problem

You could also have done:

def index(req, name='John'):
s = 'Hello, there!'
if name:
names = ['a', 'b', 'c']
s = 'Hello, %s!' % name.capitalize ()
tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename='index .psp')
req.content_typ e = 'text/html'
tmpl.run(vars = { 'greet': s, 'names': names })
return

Try the mod_python mailing list if you want an explaination of why.

Thanks, that worked.
