That's the way Python works - even though errors were raised in the
process, mod_python.apache will be considered loaded.

Try this little experiment:

I have an err.py like this:

  x = 1/0

now:

>>> import err
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "err.py", line 2, in ?
    x = 1/0
ZeroDivisionError: integer division or modulo by zero
>>> import err
>>>

see - second time - no error :)
