[mod_python] _hashlib fails to load

Hi Graham,

Here some results :

        /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890/lib/libmd5_psr.so.1

I also used ldd -s to trace more in detail, and I concluded this :
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not intervene. All libs are resolved by using the RPATH of _hashlib.so
(which includes a path to all python libs ) and the system default search path /usr/lib.
I made tests with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to <empty> or even to /tmp, but still, import hashlib works fine in the python console.

Another test I made was calling python via cgi, and do a import hashlib there too :
    
    #!/opt/csw/bin/python

    import hashlib

Again, no problems.

In my ptest.py, I write nothing else but :
import hashlib

And then this fails.

# Likely problem is that _hashlib.so cannot find the shared libraries it
