Thanks for your reply but I do not think this is my problem.
I have the same code running on a production server,also using mod_python
3.3.1. I am also pretty sure that on the system where I have the error, the
previosuly installed version was 3.3.1, so nothing really changed.

Could this be related to the way I configure apache before compiling?

Thanks
Olaf
