Unfortunately this isn't the way to go either.  Apache uses its own
config and rules to map a url to a "filepath."  There's no way for
Python to do this without interrogating Apache.  And it's not necessary
anyway.  Urls to paths are mapped in a fairly static way by Apache.
Just put your files in the right folders and generate the appropriate
urls.  It's not hard.  You're struggling because you either don't
understand how apache works, or you're trying to work against it.  I've
been deploying web sites for years and I've never had to do any of the
things you are trying to make Python do.
