[mod_python] _ssl module not found with mod_python

I'm having an issue with the ssl module when mod_python is loaded.  I 
try to import ssl and got a "No module named _ssl" error (see below for 
the complete error output).  I have an Apache conf file and a Python 
script that is presented below.  When I use Python through the CGI, I'm 
able to import ssl with no error (see the Apache conf file and script 
used down below) as well as when I import the ssl module on the command 
line.


Does someone have a hint of what maybe the problem?

Thanks.

  req.write('pythonhome   => %s' % os.getenv('PYTHONHOME'))
  req.write('pythonpath   => %s' % os.getenv('PYTHONPATH'))
  return apache.OK
