python: Fixed wsgidir caching problem.

"""WSGI handler for serving chained WSGI modules from physical files

The WSGI handler in this module ensures that the SCRIPT_FILENAME
variable is properly set in every request and points out a file that
exists and is readable. It then dispatches the request in one of two
ways: If the header X-Ash-Python-Handler is set in the request, its
value is used as the name of a handler object to dispatch the request
to; otherwise, the file extension of the SCRIPT_FILENAME is used to
determine the handler object.

The name of a handler object is specified as a string, which is split
along its last constituent dot. The part left of the dot is the name
of a module, which is imported; and the part right of the dot is the
name of an object in that module, which should be a callable adhering
to the WSGI specification. Alternatively, the module part may be
omitted (such that the name is a string with no dots), in which case
the handler object is looked up from this module.

By default, this module will handle files with the extensions `.wsgi'
or `.wsgi2' using the `chain' handler, which chainloads such files and
runs them as independent WSGI applications. See its documentation for
details.

This module itself contains both an `application' and a `wmain'
object. If this module is used by ashd-wsgi(1) or scgi-wsgi(1) so that
its wmain function is called, arguments can be specified to it to
install handlers for other file extensions. Such arguments take the
form `.EXT=HANDLER', where EXT is the file extension to be handled,
and HANDLER is a handler name, as described above. For example, the
argument `.fpy=my.module.foohandler' can be given to pass requests for
`.fpy' files to the function `foohandler' in the module `my.module'
(which must, of course, be importable). When writing such handler
functions, you may want to use the getmod() function in this module.
