[mod_python] PYTHONPATH and mod_python

Hi,

We're using a managed server and have our own apache + mod_python running.
All went fine until the server was rebooted by the provider.

Now I get:

[Wed Dec 20 11:22:07 2006] [notice] SIGHUP received.  Attempting to restart

[500 Interal Server Error]

I guess the problem is the PYTHONPATH is being ignored by apache+mod_python.
Mod_python is installed into some local dir and the PYTHONPATH is set:

# env | grep PY
PYTHONPATH=/www/94219_27474/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/:/www/94219_27
474/local/lib/svn-python:

The intepreter gets the path from commandline:

# python2.5

I guess this looks good (as I've seen it in some mail archives).

But somehow the PYTHONPATH is not used while mod_python initialization?!

Any help would be appreciated. :)
