[mod_python] sys.path problem

Hi Graham,

Thanks for the further suggestions.

Here's what I've tried, still able to replicate issue:

- Verified that my .htaccess files are being read.  I believe that
AllowOverride is set globally on my Apache server (probably not safe in real
life)
- Added PythonOption mod_python.legacy.importer config directives to both
handlers' .htaccess files
- Replaced hostnames with IP/port values in VirtualHost configuration

sys.path is evil.
