in my setup the PythonPath statement puts the folder containing 
myproject onto the PythonPath in your case that might be

PythonPath "[r'c:/apache/public_html']+sys.path"

also I place the SetEnv DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE  .....
before specifying the PythonHandler, but I am unsure if that is required 
(I guess it depends on exactly how apache sets up the location), but 
it's what I would do in a batch file for example.
