Run 'apxs' for the version of Apache you are using to work out what
the actual modules directory should be:

$ /usr/local/apache-2.2.4/bin/apxs -q LIBEXECDIR
/usr/local/apache-2.2.4/modules

If there is no mod_python.so in there then you can't have done the
mod_python install properly. Go back to the mod_python source code and
rerun:

  sudo make install_dso

When you do that it will even tell you exactly what the LoadModule
line you should use is.

Also ensure you actually installed the Python module components of
mod_python. You can redo that by running:

  sudo make install_py_lib
