Where is my_module?

If my_module in same directory, in mod_python 3.3.1 you can still say just:

  import my_module

as it does some magic to map to apache.import_module(), provided it is
actually a candidate for reloading.

If still using apache.import_module() directly, you have to assign
result to a name and reference through name.

  my_module = apache.import_module('my_module')

  my_module.input_module

You don't show all the code, so can't see how you are trying to
reference the loaded module.
