This was added in 204a692/061d2d5 back when we were parsing sys.argv to extract the --verbosity flags, but we're not doing that anymore. Also note that mod_python has seen no release for 6y and appears to be mostly dead per http://blog.dscpl.com.au/2010/06/modpython-project-is-now-officially.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mod_python
