Comment(by grahamd):

 Sorry, what is said about mod_python is I believe still wrong.

 The MODPYTHON-217 is not saying only Python 2.3 is the problem, it relates
 to new Python APIs introduced in Python 2.3. Those APIs still exist and
 act the same. Thus it doesn't matter which version of Python is used at
 this point. Thus saying that Python 2.4 or later may help is I believe
 wrong. The code in mod_python needs to be fixed.

 FWIW, I have a patched version of mod_python which fixes the problem so at
 least main interpreter can be used, but am trying to sort out issues
 around trying to load that modified version at same time as mod_wsgi.
 Problem is that mod_python did things with threads wrongly and mod_wsgi
 had some fiddles in it to cope with that. Now that mod_python code has
 been fixed, mod_wsgi fails becauses its fiddles no longer apply. Trying to
 work out best thing to do. Maybe case that if want to use modified
 mod_python with mod_wsgi, may have to just use mod_wsgi 2.2 or later, and
 will make a change in mod_wsgi 2.2 to allow it to also work with that
 modified mod_python.
