This is a request to develop the WSGI section of the docs. I'm pretty
well experienced with apache modules and configuration and several years
back I did a mod_python roundup install. Maybe I'm missing something so
obvious, nobody thought it needed to be in the docs. After numerous
passes, I'm not able to get beyond the following (yes my install prefix
is /usr/local/roundup-1.4.8./ ).

 
: NULL result without error in PyObject_Call	Python 2.5.2
/

A problem occurred while running a Python script. Here is the sequence
of function calls leading up to the error, with the most recent
(innermost) call first. The exception attributes are:

The documentation is quite lacking indeed.

Is your request related to using the WSGI-Interface?

This howto might help

https://wiki.hostsharing.net/index.php?title=Roundup#Konfiguration_ohne_eigene_httpd.conf


together with some weblinks at
https://wiki.hostsharing.net/index.php?title=Diskussion:Flup


(I am not into this deep enough...)

Has anybody gotten this working and can supply some additions to the
install docs?

Ping a mod_wsgi tutorial like the mod_python tutorial in instaltion.txt is needed here.

We have a first pass at enhancing the wsgi docs committed.

Can you folks look at: 

https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/default/tree/doc/installation.txt#l509

and

https://sourceforge.net/p/roundup/code/ci/default/tree/doc/installation.txt#l509

and provide feedback.

Docs updated. Nobody says they are broken, so treating no news as good 
news.

looking forward to trying it out again...
