Your registry settings for Python do not include the site-packages
directory where mod_python typically gets installed. Thus, trying
updating the registry to add the site-packages directory. As a guide,
see the following post from the mod_python mailing list archive as a
guide.

This is for Python 2.5, but should give an indicator of what to look
for. Update the PythonPath entry.

For any mod_python help in the future, suggest you subscribe to the
mod_python mailing list and ask your question there as there is a
higher concentration of people there who are familiar with the
software. Details of the mod_python mailing list are on the mod_python
web site.
