[mod_python] PythonImport failure

Actually, I was running the latest (2.7.2), but I downloaded the latest from
modpython.org just to be sure.  No change.

BTW, I'll be moving my dev environment to Linux shortly (whew), so I'll let
you know if the same issue persists.  If you have any other ideas, tests,
goose chases... I'm happy to try them out.

Thanks.

Chris

Try the mod_python 2.7.2 DLL and see if the problems persist
