Errors installing mod_python with apache

[Mark Seger]

I did try yum and got this:

[root at rhel53 tmp]# yum install mod_python
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is not registered with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
No package mod_python available.
Nothing to do

after further digging around I did find rh's mod_python rpm so I installed
than and now seem to be ok.  nevertheless it still bothers me the
'standard' tarball install didn't work.  but I guess I'll leave that to
others to worry about.

thanks
