Not strictly true. You will not be meaningfully be able to do anything because _apache which is builtin to mod_python will not be available, but one can learn various things from the errors which result when you do try and load mod_python from a command line Python. Repeating some instructions from a previous email: If mod_python has been installed, you can determine which version is being used by executing "python" itself and attempting to import the module "mod_python.psp". For example: ~ [510]$ python Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11) [GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import mod_python.psp If you see a Python exception of the form: ImportError: No module named _apache it means that you have mod_python version 3.1. If you see the Python exception: ImportError: No module named psp it means that you only have version 2.7. Finally, if you instead see the Python exception: ImportError: No module named mod_python.psp it means that mod_python isn't installed after all, or at least not for the version of Python you are trying to use.
