I had the same problem exactly, so I did a "strings" on the file 
"mod_python.so", and found it depended on "python22.dll"; I then 
attacked this file with a binary file editor and changed "python22.dll" 
with "python23.dll", and Apache restarted OK.

Now... I don't know how stable this is, and I know that this isn't the 
best solution, but at least meanwhile, it's working and I can continue 
doing my stuff.

I'll post something if I run into trouble, but there's been none yet.

Happy Hacking :-)
