5.1.10 PythonInitHandler

Syntax: Python*Handler Syntax
Context: server config, virtual host, directory, htaccess
Override: not None
Module: mod_python.c

This handler is the first handler called in the request processing phases that is allowed both inside and outside .htaccess and directory.

This handler is actually an alias to two different handlers. When specified in the main config file outside any directory tags, it is an alias to `PostReadRequestHandler`. When specified inside directory (where `PostReadRequestHandler` is not allowed), it aliases to `PythonHeaderParserHandler`.

(This idea was borrowed from mod_perl)
