I don't know what happens on Win32, but on UNIX mod_python gets
installed in a 'site-packages' directory and the 'site-packages'
directory only would be in sys.path, and not the mod_python package
directory.

Where is the mod_python package installed?

Does the user which Apache runs as have permission to read the stuff in
the mod_python package directory?

Can people who know Win32 better than I help out at this point.
