What is the actual path to your 'httpd'? Is it '/usr/bin/httpd'?

If when you run:

  apxs2 -q TARGET

it generates:

  httpd2

then suggests your Apache installation is broken in some way.

Can only suggest you modify the mod_python configure program and look for:

  HTTPD="`${APXS} -q SBINDIR`/`${APXS} -q TARGET`"

change it to:

  HTTPD="/usr/bin/httpd"

or whatever the actual path to the web server executable is.

Rerun configure. This may or may no get you further.
