Ah, that ExecCGI applies to the entire $SERVERROOT/cgi-bin/ for the
Apache
server.  It was there in httpd.conf for all the other guys in my shop
who 
_don't_ yet do Python.  ;-)

It shouldn't have any adverse affect on the workings of mod_python, as
you point out.

Checked permissions, everything in in PATHONPATH is world readable, no
problem there.  However, you gave me the hint I needed.  See, this
is where mod_python installed:

/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/mod_python-2.5/lib/python/mod_python

...because (and I don't know why) I skipped (whoops) bullet point 2 in 
section 1.) "Installing Python Libraries".  Symlinking that directory
as 
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/mod_python fixed the problem.

Hello World!

Thanks,
