[mod_python] apache2 won't load mod_python

When I am logged in under su as root I can start python and import 
mod_python. (import * fails of course on _apache):

==========
I have tried many different configurations for mod_python and none of them 
have worked so far. The one I currently have which fails is the very simple:
<Directory /usr/local/apache2/htdocs>
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
</Directory>

Is there some special flag for mod_python's configure?
Thanks for helping!
