Have a play with this instead (untested):

   from mod_python import apache
   psp = apache.import_module("mod_python.psp")
   import os,sys

   __here__ = os.path.dirname(__file__)
   __include_dir = os.path.join(__here__,'include')

   def index(req):
       quote_of_the_day = apache.import_module 
('quote_of_the_day',log=1,path=[__include_dir])
       req.content_type = 'text/html'
       tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename=os.path.join(__here__, 'templates/ 
index.tmpl'))
       tmpl.run( vars={'QUOTE':quote_of_the_day.today_quote()} )
       return

By using "import_module()" within the scope of the executing handler,  
a check
is made on each request as to whether the quote Python code file has  
changed
and it will be reloaded if necessary when it does.
