Ok. So the informations you're looking for should be accessible as 
attributes of the request object that get passed to your request 
handler. Attributes of interest here are mostly request.hostname, 
request.uri, request.path_info and request.filename. More informations here:

Mmm... Then you might want to checkout which version of mod_python 
you're using, and make sure you read the corresponding doc...

FWIW, there's also a mod_python mailing-list, so I suggest you seek 
further assistance wrt/ mod_python specific stuff there. Of course, 
questions about the Python language and it's standard lib are welcome here.
