It may exist, but check the following:

1. That the service that Apache is running as has permissions to be able to
read the file and it isn't just only you who can read it.

2. You also need to ensure that you have available the required Microsoft
C/C++ runtime DLL libraries that the version you are using requires. Possibly
msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll.

3. Ensure that you aren't trying to use compiled version of mod_python
with wrong version of Apache that it was built for.
