[mod_python] Reload problem - again!

The problem isn't with the "[:-1]", it's that os.path.exists() *raises* an
error. It's not supposed to raise errors, just return true or false (at
least according to documentation):

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-os.path.html

This is a Python bug that begins in 2.1 and is still in 2.2a1, but seems
to be fixed in 2.2a4.

This is also in the mod_python FAQ, and there is a link there to a patch
;-)
