[mod_python] Trouble with python versions.

Did you run:

  make distclean

after having done previous failed builds of mod_python?

Did you make sure you did a full Apache 'stop' rather than a
'restart'? A 'restart' may not unload the old Python libraries from
Apache process memory properly.

What do you get if you run:

  ldd mod_python.so
