Did you set PythonPath to the location where your test
module is?

Try this apache setup, it's my preferred way of using python
modules, because of the nicer urls; I use Apache 2.x and
mod_python 3.1.3, but the setup isn't much different:

<Location /py-test>
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonPath "[\"/path/to/where/your/module/is\"]+sys.path"
    PythonInterpreter py_test
    PythonHandler name_of_your_module
    PythonAutoReload On
    PythonDebug On
</Location>

When you try to access any location inside /py-test from your
browser, your module gets invoked.

It's wierd, working with locations instead of directories,
but in the end it's much more flexible. IMO, of course.

Good luck with your installation.
