Grisha,
    I started with Python 2.3 from python.org (installed via .exe). 
Using mod_python 3.03, in order to make the "module not found" error 
disappear
I had to install Python 2.2.  I used ActiveState 2.2 for this install.  I 
then reinstalled 
3.03 and it installed in the 2.2 tree.  The apache error then disappeared. 
 

This morning I tried out 3.1 alpha against stock Python 2.3 from 
python.org and it worked without 
error. 

I hope I'm not muddying the water relating my experience, but as the 
newbie, running standard exe installs that's
what I encountered.

I could try to replicate the error if you'd like.  I think I can find a 
virgin xp box laying around to test
if it was something I did or something with the layout of the system.

On a side note:
I've really enjoyed mod_python.  Thank you for your time and effort. Also, 
thank you for the
excellent install program. 

Perry Tew



Are you using stock Python, Win32 Python, Active or self-compiled?
