Having thought more about what you are asking, first thing is that  
you aren't
getting .pyc files as Apache runs as a user which most likely doesn't  
have
write permission on the directories. Second is that even when using  
Python
outside of mod_python, it will not read an __init__.py file which is  
immediately
in the directory specified in sys.path, it will only do it for  
packages residing
in subdirectories. You might want to review how Python works in that
respect.
