Normally a minor sub revision change wouldn't cause a problem as
Python directories tend to only use major and minor version numbers
in directory names, eg. 2.4.

Anyway, if you don't mind compiling would definitely suggest that. I
would though strongly encourage you to upgrade to Apache 2.0 and
mod_python 3.2.8 in the process.
