[mod_python] Problems with PythonPath directive

Hi Barry -

Try

PythonPath "sys.path + ['/path/to/project/zope2/lib/python',
                        '/path/to/project/xxx/xxx_apps']"

(the above should be on one line)

IIRC, mod_python will prepend the path in <Directory> to sys.path, unless
PythonPath is specified, in which case PythonPath overrules everything.
