Yes, I'm sure. I have only one version of Python installed - 2.2.1. I
suppose the problem is related somehow to paths resolving during
proceeding my module by mod_python.
But I cannot say how. 
By the way, if I add in sitecustomize.py the line:
sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.2/encodings'), I get the next error
message:

  File "/home/mk/tests/biprojects/bisoft/www/test4.py", line 5, in test
    return cnt.encode("utf-8")

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/encodings/__init__.py", line 51, in
search_function
    mod = __import__(modname,globals(),locals(),'*')

  RuntimeError: cannot unmarshal code objects in restricted execution

So, may be something wrong in my apache configuration? Could you show
the fragment of your httpd.conf, which  describes mod_python conf.?

Thank you for your help.
