This is a mod_python handler program. The correct way to call it is to have
22
Apache send all requests to be handled by the module 'dispatch'.
24
Top-level handler. Handles all requests to all pages in IVLE.
25
Handles authentication and delegates to views for authorization,
26
then passes the request along to the appropriate view.
