Yes, but the latest version of mod_python (3.1.3) has a couple of bugs
in it in relation to threads which can cause problems when using a
threaded MPM with Apache. No indication has been given as to when
they will be fixed so you should patch the bugs yourself for now.

You can find some details and the patches at:

There is a discussion on the mod_python mailing list archives at:

  http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2004-October/thread.html

Look for the thread starting with "Udate python modules without restarting Apache".
It is this discussion which lead to the uncovering of the bugs.
