Quick fix is to comment out the line with 'reload()' on it. Beyond that you have two options: 1. Downgrade from mod_python 3.3.1 to 3.2.10. 2. Have the author of the application upgrade to 3.3.1 and have them fix their code to eliminate use of reload() which will not work with modules in 3.3.1 managed by mod_python and was never a reliable way in older versions of mod_python of reloading modules anyway. To assist them in fixing their code when they move to 3.3.1, point them to the function 'import_module()' in the documentation: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-apmeth.html That function is the correct way in mod_python of managing reloading of mod_python managed modules.
