What operating system? What version of Python? What version of mod_python? What startup messages for mod_python are in the Apache error log? What is the mod_python configuration you have in Apache configuration files? Specifically, are you setting PythonPath directive in really strange ways? Does it happen if you don't use the 'logging' module?
