It appears that the binaries for mod_python 3.0.1 have been built using Microsoft Visual Studio version 7. This means that mod_python.so has a dependency on the file msvcr70.dll, but the distribution doesn't include this file. If you have the latest Microsoft compiler installed, or any other applications that use this DLL, then mod_python.so works fine. If not it fails horribly. The workaround (at least on one machine that had this problem) is to copy msvcr70.dll into \winnt\system32. Get the file from anywhere that already has a copy (e.g. www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll- files.shtml?msvcr70). Fortunately this dll has no further dependencies. The long term solution would be to distribute mod_python as a .MSI file including dependencies, or even to build it with the same version of the C runtime library as used for the rest of Apache and Python.
