Standard Python modules should always be included with "import" and NOT
with "apache.import_module()".

Also, a general rule is that you should not import the same module using
both "import" and "apache.import_module()" from different places. If you
break this rule, you can end up with modules being wrongly reloaded
which can cause problems. See:

  http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-003.html#redundant-module-loading

You may want to read that whole article, as it describes various other
module importing issues when using mod_python.
