Description

mod_python fails on MacOS X 10.5 (Leopard) due to multi architecture issues.

Various reports, such as:

http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2008-March/025003.html
http://www.modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2008-January/024627.html

Two parts of mod_python are affected, the actual load of mod_python.so and later the psp.so Python module.

Errors are of the form:

httpd: Syntax error on line 116 of /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf:

usr/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so, 10): no suitable image found. Did
