PythonPath is what I suggested in the first place. Apparently it didn't work as mod_python callback creation failed. See: http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-June/021495.html Unfortunately it is a bit hard to debug why with mod_python 3.2.8 whereas if there was 3.2.9rc? as Win32 package to try, it now generates lots of debug when callback creation fails to help track down why. I've wandered in the past whether a PythonHome directive might be useful. The intent being that mod_python takes that value and populates PYTHONHOME environment variable before it actually calls init functions for Python. I saw its use as quite limited so hadn't done anything about it, but maybe it might have helped in this situation.
