No difference

Running in browser:
http://localhost/~tony/private/home/learning/jinja/minimal/minimal.py

In apache2.access.log:
::1 - tony [29/Mar/2019:11:22:13 +0000] "GET
/~tony/private/home/learning/jinja/minimal/minimal.py HTTP/1.1" 200 204
"http://localhost/~tony/private/home/learning/jinja/minimal/"
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko)
Chrome/72.0.3626.81 Safari/537.36"
::1 - - [29/Mar/2019:11:23:04 +0000] "-" 408 0 "-" "-"
::1 - - [29/Mar/2019:11:23:04 +0000] "-" 408 0 "-" "-"

So, 408 is a bit unusual for localhost. With the accented character
removed, no timeout is reported. Maybe a clue.

Can find no other traceback. Nothing relevant in apache2/error.log
