Tim,
The failure of importing the apache module when requested from the 
python interpreter run from the command line is expected - it needs to 
be called by apache. It does show that the mod_python module is found by 
python so that is a good thing.

Have a look at Graham Dumpleton's articles at:
http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles.html
These can help greatly.
