What settings do you have in your configuration for: PythonPath ... PythonOption mod_python.importer.path ... The module importer doesn't add paths automatically to sys.path and uses its own path which is in part based on the request context. The locations it can look in can therefore vary based on where your handler code is located which the request mapped to. As such, you may need to explicitly set the module importer path option if a specific directory must always be checked. The other option is that if you are relying on being able to import from a module installed on sys.path, ie., standard module, a module which only exists somewhere on mod_python module path. You can't do this, when using 'import' in a standard Python module, it will only look for stuff on sys.path. Answer these questions, but also make sure you have read up on import_module function in: http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/pyapi-apmeth.html if you haven't done so already.
