[mod_python] PythonOption not defined, as reported by pyWebSocket module

Hello all,

We are developing an application that uses Google's pyWebSocket
project. I am trying to get this running through mod_python following
the documentation published by the project. The handler expects a path
for the websocket code that we have written as a PythonOption, which
our configuration provides.

But we get the following exception when we access the document root

Exception: ('PythonOption mod_pywebsocket.handler_root is not defined', 3)

I am sure I am doing something really silly that's stopping this from
working, I was hoping if anyone can spot what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks.
