Ahh right, that totally makes sense. Thanks.

I removed the mod_python port and installed mod_wsgi-3.1 last night. 
There really shouldn't be any remnants of mod_python lurking around; but 
even if there are, I removed the mod_python LoadModule directive from 
httpd.conf and have stopped and restarted Apache numerous times - so it 
really should be gone.

Oooops sorry, I don't remember any mention of that but I really should 
have thought to switch myself. I'll get myself subscribed to the 
mod_wsgi list pronto.

Thanks again everyone!
