[mod_python] No module named _md5

Add at the very start of the module:

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

Look in the Apache error log file to see what sys.path is. Look through
those directories listed to see if one includes _md5module.so  or  
_m5.so.
If it is, make sure permissions have it as readable to others as Apache
will run as special user normally and may not be able to read it if  
it is
something else.
