[Tilecache] TileCache problems with mod_python

[Yves Moisan]

Thanx Jim,

I remember I had issues with specific combinations of Apache/mod_python
and I can't remember what made me think only the Registry could tell
mod_python where to find Python.  I'll look at the link you provide.

Cheers,

Yves
