[mod_python] Import problem

Did you upgrade to mod_python 3.3.1 from an older version at the same time?

There was one incompatible change going to mod_python 3.3.1 from older
versions. This was where the handler directory is no longer put into
sys.path. This doesn't cause any problems if using file based modules
in the same directory, but does if you have a Python package in the
same directory.

Further information can be had by reading the documentation for
apache.import_module() in:

  http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-apmeth.html

If that stuff in the directory is a true Python package with
__init__.py having side affects, then only choice is to move the
directory to outside of the document tree and then use PythonPath
directive to specify where it is located. Other alternative is to
treat your directory as a pseudo package as described in the
documentation.

Anyway, read the documentation and come back if you have more
questions or need something explained.
