[mod_python] Apache2 won't start after changing config file with Load mod_py...

That error generally means that the mod_python module is built for a
different version of Apache than what you are using. That or you are
using some distribution of Apache that wasn't what was built against.

Where did you get your Apache and mod_python installers and what were
the exact names of the installer files?
