[mod_python] "Can't locate API module structure" on OS/X Leopard

If you are trying to run a Python web application or framework which
supports WSGI, such as Django or Trac, use mod_wsgi instead and you
may find things simpler.

If not, then try mod_python from subversion repository instead as that
definitely has correct flags.

  svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/quetzalcoatl/mod_python/trunk
mod_python-trunk
