Got the same error message, after trying the very same combination
(xp+apache 2.0.43+AS Python 22+mod_python 3.0.1) at work, a few days
ago, using the binary version from www.apache.org

The solution is simple. that version of mod_python.so seems to be
compiled with Visual Studio 7 (aka  VS dot net), and so needs
msvcr70.dll.   

After copying that library over from a development workstation where
VS7 was installed, and after installing the mod_python package
(another missing piece) from the source distro into python22,
everything - well, almost everything, but see below - works like a
charm. 

When it works at all, using mod_python is actually quite simple (I
haven't usedit before, too)

The problem _I_ am struggling with right now is how to write an output
filter with mod_python for processing very large files, without reading
the whole file into memory. Any suggestions?

There are various places to get msvcr70.dll from. It's part of the
redistributable libraries.
