[mod_python] import error

Hello guys!

I'm new to the mod python and im trying to write a few apps but without luck
so far...

Im trying to import the module ElementTree, as follow:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

and i also tried:

ET = apache.import_module('xml.etree.ElementTree')

both result in the error
