You can ignore it as mod_python simply forces req.subprocess_env to be
populated with CGI stuff. This has side affect of adding it.

Mostly irrelevant. They are using:

  <Location /mpinfo>
  PythonHandler mod_python.testhandler
  SetHandler mod_python
  </Location>

So, using internal module of mod_python. No file actually coming into play.

Original poster should read and work through:

This may give them a clue as to what they are doing wrong.
