Thank you guys for confirming that the mod_python3 should be working fine
with apache22.

I had figured that the ordering of the LoadModule had to be in a
certain order.

This is the ordering:

LoadModule dav_module         libexec/apache22/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     libexec/apache22/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   libexec/apache22/mod_authz_svn.so
LoadModule dav_fs_module libexec/apache22/mod_dav_fs.so
LoadModule python_module      libexec/apache22/mod_python.so

Now I am only having problems testing if a python file is being parsed.

I used this to create a test .py file:

from mod_python import apache

 def handler(req):
         req.write("Hello World!")
         return apache.OK

and it is not being parsed.

I have this line roughly on line 370 of the httpd.conf:

AddHandler mod_python .py

When I view this test .py file via web browser, I can see the source
code instead of the expected "Hello World!".

Did I forget something else?

By the way, I was following the recent OnLAMP article "Subversion for
BSD With All the Bells and Whistles"
