Work out where the mod_python module got installed, usually the Python
site-packages directory. See if the directory (eg site-packages), is
listed in the path above in the errors. If not, fix your Windows
registry settings so Python looks there correctly. Ie., edit:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.5\PythonPath]
@="<path to python>\\Lib;<path to python>\\DLLs;<path to
python>\\Lib\\lib-tk"

See:

http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-September/021979.html

for reference.

If you run up Python and at prompt run:

  import mod_python

if it doesn't find module you know the search path is still not correct.

Other possibilities are that you have Apache running as special user
and it doesn't have permissions to read where mod_python is installed.
