[mod_python] Re: PyChart into web site error

Hi all, I'm getting this error from mod_python, when I try to use 
PyChart to create a simple chart:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch

    self.title = re.sub("(.*)\\.py$", "\\1", sys.argv[0])

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'argv'


I've searched with google and found that this topic has been already 
addressed on this list, but still there is not solution. I've asked to 
the author of the original post and he has resolved using spyce instead 
of mod_python, but since I'm a newbie of mod_python, I would like to 
continue with it.
Since the script works on the command line, probably it may be some 
security setting in mod_python that restricts access to certain modules, 
but I can't understand how to change this.
The python code in plot1.py is this:

from pychart import *
def plot2():

        data = [["Jan", 10], ["Feb", 22], ["Mar", 30]]

        ar = area.T(x_coord = category_coord.T(data, 0),
        y_range = (0, None),
        x_axis = axis.X(),
        y_axis = axis.Y())
        ar.add_plot(bar_plot.T(data = data, label = "Something"))

        return ar.draw()

and the Directive in Apache configuration is this:

<Directory /home/motif/public_html/>
    AllowOverride FileInfo
    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
    PythonDebug On
</Directory>

It's about a month that I'm trying to resolve this... Can someone give 
me some hints? Why mod_python requires sys.argv? Is this a problem only 
of italian peoples? ;)
Thank you...
