Are you installing that version then doing a full stop/start (not a
restart or graceful) of Apache.

Can you rebuild mod_python against the standard OS supplied version of
Python in /usr/bin and ignore your version in /usr/local/bin and see
if that works. Ensure that /usr/local/bin is not in PATH of Apache.
Half the time these strange sorts of problems are because of using a
Python not installed in standard location, so would be good to see if
it works with the one in the standard location or not.
