Re: mod_python: How-to Resolve Python Version conflicts

Whoops, didn't even notice this wasn't the original poster, so more
confusion. Anyway, they raised a valid point which I had forgotten
about, which was that there is a partial installation of 2.3 on
Leopard.

The advice of using mod_python source from subversion still stands. If
there is still an issue then, I would be concerned about that Current
link in Python framework directory.
