Django, mod_python, apache deployment: mod_python import error

Question

I've already installed mod_python, but when i'm trying to use it:

eg.

>>>import mod_python
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: No module named mod_python

-

[root@lab6 /]# yum install mod_python
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Install Process
Package mod_python-3.2.8-3.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

I can't import it even though i've already installed it in a Redhat server.

And it's suposed to be used to deploy Django in a Redhat server with this httpd.conf entry:

<VirtualHost mritest2.domain.ch:80>
        ServerName mritest2.domain.ch
        DocumentRoot /home/django_www/hardi

        <Location "/">
            SetHandler python-program
            PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython
            SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE mri.settings
            PythonDebug On

            PythonPath "['/home/django_www', '/home/django_www/hardi'] + sys.path"
        </Location>

        <Location "/static/">
            SetHandler None
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

mod_python is a HTTPd module, not a Python package; its virtual modules are only available to code it is running, not the REPL.

But in truth mod_python has been dead for a while now, and you should migrate to mod_wsgi ASAP.

thanks, I've another question regarding mod_wsgi: I'was trying to install it - "sudo ./configure --with-python=/opt/python2.5/bin/python" But i couldn't find this dir: "/opt/python2.5/bin/python" in my filesystem.. Is there any other way to install mod_wsgi?

just tried it, but it doesn't work: "No package mod_wsgi available. "
