[mod_python] Windows Server 2008

I don't think Django makes use of mod_python until you move into
'production' mode, though... it's development server is internally run by
just django code (I think).  If you've got apache set up already, and you
think you've got mod_python in place (including the Apache directive to your
web root, with something like the standard mod_python.publisher handler),
the true test would be to write up a small .py file with a "def index(req):"
and something like "req.write('hello world')" in the body.  Then if it runs,
you'll know mod_python is working :)
