[mod_python] problem setting up mod_python under Ubuntu Breezy

If you are using all the default packages from the distribution,
including that for mod_python, it might be the case that the mod_python
package was originally compiled against an older version of Python and
thus will not work. Can you build the mod_python package yourself from
source code and use that instead?
