Well, things are set up differently on different systems, I have experience with OpenBSD and FreeBSD. If I tried to do what you did, I would have ended up in one of two situations: 1) If I used a threaded Python for my mod_python, and attempted to load mod_python in apache, I would get error messages about unresolved symbols belonging to libpt. Since obviously, Apache isn't linked against that library. 2) If I used an unthreaded version, I would be able to load things and get going, but I'd get undefined behaviour if I tried to use threading in my python script, since the python binary doesn't support the calls the threading module needs. This is probably what's happening to you. -- Daniel
