What does your mod_python config look like? Are you modifying PYTHONPATH? — Mark

That you're missing the Cookie package (which is not part of Django), but it should be Builtin.

If you're using Python 3 please note that Cookie has been renamed to http.cookies, and that Django is incompatible with Python not 2.x.

That is what you're missing: http://docs.python.org/library/cookie.html.

Edit

I see you're running python 2.4. Consider switch to python 2.6 or 2.7, and check the presence of /usr/lib/python2.4/Cookie.py

Solution

The path was missing, so adding

sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.4/')

solves the issue.

The file /usr/lib/python2.4/Cookie.py is present

Maybe django is overwriting for some reason your python path. What about doing something like sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.4/') in your settings.py or urls.py? Or in your cgi provider. I know it's a stupid try, but no other ideas...

It was sys.path, that was missing in the python path..thanks for the lead
