mod_python.so is a dll, it's just named after the Apache convention. The
other response you got from Simon Willison letting you know that current
release version of mod_python does not yet work with Python 2.3 is the
relevant one. There are workarounds - 1) revert to using Python 2.2, or 2)
(courtesy of Gustavo Cordova Avila) using either a text or a binary editor,
open mod_python.so and replace all references to python22.dll with
python23.dll. I've been running with the latter solution for almost two
weeks now and haven't noticed any problems.

HTH,
