And did you (OP) read the mod_python documentation enough to know that
'print "Hello" is in no way going to work with mod_python. You cannot
just throw an arbitrary bit of Python code in a file using 'print'
statements and it will somehow magically work. You need to write your
code to the mod_python APIs.
