1) Development changes should be discussed on dev@, NOT the users list.
   Some of the developers are not subscribed to the users list, so they
   will not be privy to the suggested changes.

2) After reviewing the thread and the impetus for this change, I disagree.
   The change should be to enable storing a dictionary into
   client_ctx.config rather than adjusting the return value of get_config.
   Python programs have no way to inspect an apr_hash_t -- they should
   *all* be converted to dictionaries on return from SWIG, and *all*
   inputs should allow for a Python dictionary.

I'd ask that this change is reverted, and the logic for ctx.config be
updated to accept a Python dictionary.

Thanks,
