[Tilecache] Re solutions issues

Well not under windows ...  First thing I did is try to install
mod_python 3.3.1 (currently the latest mod_python) for Python 2.4 and
Apache 2.0.x.  Apache wouldn't start.  Logs were not obvious.  Anyway I
came across a post that mentioned TC didn't work with 3.3.x so I went
and installed the latest 3.2 (3.2.7).  Now Apache works.

Following the TC readme file, I add the required bits in httpd.conf :

<Directory "...apache2php521/tilecache-2.03/">
        AddHandler python-program .py
        PythonHandler TileCache.Service 
        PythonOption TileCacheConfig
".../apache2php521/tilecache-2.03/tilecache.cfg"
    </Directory>

Ellipsis for short.

Then I change tilecache.cgi for tilecache.py in my html file :

var Ikonos_TC = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS( 
                       "Ikonos",  
                       "http://" + SERVER_BASE_URL +
":8292/tilecache/tilecache.py?map=.../mymapfile.map", 
                       {layers: 'Ikonos', 
                        transparent: false, 
                        singleTile: false,
                          srs: 'EPSG:29194',
                        format: 'image/jpeg'},
                       {isBaseLayer: true,
                        buffer:0,
                        transitionEffect:'resize'});


I get pink tiles.  Pasting the address of one in a new tab, I get :

Apache log says :

[Fri Nov 21 09:16:16 2008] [error] make_obcallback: could not import

I installed mod_python as per instructions so I'm clueless as to what to
do next.  Tilecache.cgi worksbut .py doesn't.  Or do I have to move all
the TC code in htdocs ?

TIA,
