I would recommend not using DirectoryMatch as mod_python can't
handle a regular expression or globex style path using this
directive or the Directory directive. Such support may make it into
mod_python 3.3. Use a straight path instead for now:

  <Directory /home/neomoha/PFC/src/>

Overall, unless you have a PythonPath set at global scope which is
causing directory associated with directive to not be added to sys.path
automatically, not sure why it wouldn't find it. Other possibility is
how you are using Alias is screwing things up.

Can you add to the start of your module:

  from mod_python import apache
  import sys
  apache.log_error('__file__=%s' % __file__)
  apache.log_error('path=%s' % sys.path)

to see what sys.path is set to when import is occurring and post the
result here if you haven't yet worked it out. The messages will be logged
in the Apache error log file.
