Graham,

No I am not using any PythonImport directive neither on the prod server,=20
nor on the test server. On the test server, the only mod_python related=20
directive is :

LoadModule python_module   modules/mod_python.so

I'll try you suggestion about adding some logging messages in mod_python.c. 
=

By the way, I just remember that I had one problem to build mod_python on=20
Tru64 with the native compiler (not tried with gcc) because of definition=20
conflict for macro _XOPEN_SOURCES defined by Phyton pyconfig.h. The problem 
=

is that mod_python includes types.h without this macro defined to the value 
=

used by Python and before including pyconfig.h (Python.h). My hack was=20
pretty dirty : undefine this macro in pyconfig.h to build mod_python=20
successfully. But may be it is responsible for this side effect=20
(unfortunatly this seems the only one...).

I'll try to find the time to check this in the coming days...

Michel
