What are you trying to do? Putting something inside Django is completely
different than running it under mod_python from the point of TileCache;
it means you need to write another server handler. In general, I would
not put TileCache inside mod_python.

Okay, so you don't want to put it directly into Django, you want to
write out a config file from Django?

Not anymore. the mod_python handler reads the config file timestamp, and
reinits the config if the file time is newer. (This addition was
funded/added to support a project with Harvard's CGA group.)
