In your code you have:

   from mod_python import apache,psp

   def index(req):
     quote = 'quote_of_the_day'
     tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename='templates/index.tmpl')
     tmpl.run( vars={'QUOTES':quote} )
     return apache.OK

The current working directory will not be that of your script. For
starters, try instead:

   from mod_python import apache,psp

   import os

   __here__ = os.path.dirname(__file__)

   def index(req):
     quote = 'quote_of_the_day'
     tmpl = psp.PSP(req, filename=os.path.join(__here__,'index.tmpl'))
     tmpl.run( vars={'QUOTES':quote} )
     return apache.OK
