[mod_python] Breaking things after upgrading MySQLdb (to 1.2.2)

Thanks a bunch!

Making a egg_cache_module.py file containing:
import os
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/var/tmp'

and just adding
PythonImport /full/path/to/some/egg_cache_module.py mynetworkname.lan
to httpd.conf. And restarting fixed the MySQLdb problem.
(and after I rebuild & reinstalled all my other python modules, since  
I'm now with python 2.5.1, my original web-app works again!)

once again you solved some mysterious problem, ;-)
Thanks Graham!
