[mod_python] How to control Python path?

This is nothing to do with PythonPath, your mod_python installation
simply isn't working. Read same comments against message just given to
someone else for Win32 problems:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2007-August/024176.html

In short Python can't initialise itself as it can't find its own
Python library directory or the files in it aren't readable to user
that Apache is running as.
