[Tilecache] tilecache refetch configuration

[Pavel Iacovlev]

My knowledge of phyton is very limited but as I understood correctly
this is the line that checks file modification date:

cfgs = cfgs + (configFile,)
try:
cfgTime = os.stat(configFile)[8]
fileChanged = lastRead[configFile] < cfgTime
except:
pass

I see the code, but I don't get this behavior. I test it like this:
1. Make a WMS request to tilecache
2. Get image as a result
3. Change the layer configuration to an invalid WMS URL, or in general
make the config file invalid by adding random text
4. Make the same WMS request
5. And as a result I still get the image, until I reload apache

Here is my apache configuration of mod_python maybe it will help:

<Directory /home/ue/Projects/yagis-dev/public/tilecache/>
# AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
# Options +ExecCGI

AddHandler python-program .py
PythonHandler TileCache.Service
PythonPath "['/home/ue/Projects/yagis-dev/public/tilecache/'] + sys.path"
PythonOption TileCacheConfig /home/ue/Projects/yagis-dev/configs/tilecache.cfg
</Directory>
