Ok, obviously, i will be concerned by thread architecture under win32.

I found it too on http://apache.fastorama.com/dist/httpd/modpython/win/

I would like to warn users about a trick while testing this code (widely 
proposed):
#
# helloworld.py
#
from mod_python import apache
#
def handler(req):
   req.content_type = ’text/plain’
   req.write("Hello World!")
   return apache.OK

’text/plain’ don't use regular string delimiters (' and ").
so python interpretter is not happy at all ...
