mod_python OS functions help?

I've just recently set up mod_python/apache on my Win2K box. I have a
very simple script which is used to execute a "make" which then builds
a VC++ project. The script works when executed via the command line
but not when initiated via web page and run as a mod_python script.
When run via mod_python there are no errors generated and all other
non-os related functions seem to work as expected, but the os related
ones such as the exec* functions seem to be ignored.

I'm guessing there is some sort of "sandbox" security issue going on
here that may be an apache issue. Does anyone have any ideas what to
do about this?

thanks for the help
Todd
