[mod_python] test doesn't work

There is a module _apache which is only available from within
mod_python. However, if you comment out the 

from mod_python import apache

line, you should be able to import it from the command line.

I'm a little puzzled by this error, since everyone who has experienced it
never gave any logical reason as to what they did to fix this. It seems to
go away magically after they mes around for a while.

I am almost certain that this is caused by

1. a syntax error in test.py
2. a permissions problem
