I think there is a good explanation for mod_python to act like this.

I have the same problem, and I think it's because of a caching algorithm
somewhere (may in python ?)

Yeps, and sometimes the problem comes back, in the same session :-)

I think that when you request the same page several times it may spawn a
new process that makes it own python pre compile script cache, and
therefor takes in your newly updated code, and therefor works.

There must be an easy way to ether disable this cache of refresh it by
force (other than restarting apache) !
