[mod_python] Apache crashes with mod_apache

Hello list!

I want to build a web app in Python to handle database transactions.

The system is SuSE 7.2 (kernel 2.4.4), apache 1.3.19, mysql 2.23.38,
mod_python
2.7.6, python 2.1.1. All packages were compiled and installed.

After httpd start following message occurs:
Starting httpd [ ][Sat Nov  3 14:04:54 2001] [warn] Loaded DSO
/usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so uses plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might
crash under
EAPI! (please recompile it with -DEAPI)                                     
                       done

In /var/log/httpd/error_log following output:
.
.

After trying to access via web browser to localhost following line in
/var/log/httpd/error_log is added:
.
.
[Sat Nov  3 14:05:27 2001] [notice] child pid 1440 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)


After this I stopped httpd and started apache again with
# httpd -X

Output message on terminal:

[Sat Nov  3 15:08:51 2001] [warn] Loaded DSO /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
uses
plain Apache 1.3 API, this module might crash under EAPI! (please recompile
it with -DEAPI)

# first in list
LoadModule python_module      /usr/lib/apache/mod_python.so
.
.
ClearModuleList
AddModule mod_python.c

I could´t find a similar problem in this list.
Any help would be highly apprechiated.
Thank you in advance,
Andreas
