Your problem is not related to the location of the <Directory> section. 
Apache doesn't like spaces in <Directory>, so try quoting your path. 
Also, the Apache docs state that "forward slashes should always be used 
as the path separator in Apache, even for Windows".

So try the following in your config file:
   <Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/project/">.

Yes.

You are more likely to get timely help on the mod_python mailing list. 
See http://www.modpython.org/ for subscription information. Personally I 
only read c.l.p when I'm looking for cheap entertainment. Some people on 
this list just crack me up. :)
