[mod_python] query regarding pyodbc

Hello sir,

Now import pyodbc is working from python console but when I import it from
.psp pages it is giving error as 
ImportError : dynamic module does not define init function (initpyodbc)

I check  using nm pyodbc.so command it is giving initpyodbc function in the
list

Now what may be the problem?

Regards
Rahul

Then it is not a mod_python issue and you perhaps should ask on:

Like the message says, it cannot find in the C extension module the
symbol 'initpyodbc', which is the entry point function for
initialising the module.

Thus the module has not been built properly or is broken in some way.
