I've built up a library of error functions that I always include in my 
mod_python applications.
"""
def raise400(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 400 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_BAD_REQUEST

def raise401(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 401 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED

def raise403(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 403 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_FORBIDDEN

def raise404(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 404 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_NOT_FOUND

def raise415(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 415 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE

def raise500(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 500 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

def raise501(logmsg,server):
     """Log an explanatory error message and send 501 to the client"""
     apache.log_error(logmsg, apache.APLOG_ERR, server)
     raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_NOT_IMPLEMENTED
"""

I think these are quite handy although they will only return Apaches 
default error pages.
