If mod_python.servlet is mpservlets, I don't recollect it having any  
sort of database
component, so thus suspect that you must be using MySQLdb or some other
database module. If this is the case, you may have a mismatch between  
what
MySQL shared libraries are being found and what the Apache/Python  
modules
needing them were compiled against. Such mismatches are known to cause
strange behaviour. See:

   http://www.modpython.org/FAQ/faqw.py?req=show&file=faq02.013.htp

for some related information about what problems can occur.
