[mod_python] CGIhandler Application Error

Hi All,

I'm quite new to python and very new mod_python. I have written a simple 
app in the form of a CGI script which I am trying to get running CGIHandler.
The webserver setup I am using is Apache 2.2.4, Python 2.5 and 
mod_python 3.3.0b.
This is a copy of the error.log info I get when I run the app. If you 
need a copy of the app I can e-mail it to you.

Being a python noivce I have absolutely no idea as to how to solve this 
problem. The app seems to work fine because running it with it's output 
redirected to a .html file produces the desired output.

Thanks in advance,
