[mod_python] Problem with using apache.import_module for importing scripts

Thanks, that should work OK, and it's still secure because it doesn't
allow access to arbitrary imported modules.

But as a sidenote - you should consider naming your scripts differently
since you end up having to reload them every time the "other" script is
accessed. Also, you may sometimes find object from one script in the
namespace of the other (not sure if it's a Python bug or feature).
