[mod_python] ImportError: No module named _apache

David, I am running the latest version of Debian on my computer.  Also there
is no error when compiling the _apache module into mod_python and that is
what my original concern was that there seems to be no exception raised if
the compilation fails for _apache.

Here is what I am talking about:

_apacheModule.c: void init_apache(): line 533

Mp_ServerReturn = PyErr_NewException("_apache.SERVER_RETURN", NULL, NULL);
if (Mp_ServerReturn = NULL)
	return;

_apacheModule does not seem to be raising any exceptions when that occurs.

Brian, I just signed up with the list before I posted this message.  How can
I check all the previous list entries to find out how this problem was
covered.

As far as not running this through mod_python on the apache server, as far
as I am concerned, I am.  I pretty much followed exactly what is written in
the documentation including the test file they have to test mod_python, in
which the call to import apache fails:

from mod_python import apache

Any ideas guys?

It would be great if you could say what platform you are using, and what 
the error compiling the _apache module into mod_python is ...
