Ah, good to know, thanks.

I noticed (and replicated) the behaviour of the rewrite rule you mention. Also I've observed that URLs to packages with dashes in their names get redirected to ones where these have been replaced by underscores e.g. cx-Oracle -> cx_Oracle. I've just released a modified clone (chishop, Apache/mod_wsgi) for internal use at a company and ran into this one.

Are there any other URL mods lurking that I should be aware of to be added to my implementation?
