Seriously - the answer is to stop using mod_python. The Apache project has officially deprecated mod_python [1]. The last release was in 2008, and by deprecating the project, Apache has signalled that there aren't going to be any releases or updates in the future. Django will begin the deprecation process for the mod_python backend in the 1.3 cycle [2], so when Django 1.5 comes out, there won't be any support for mod_python. At this point in time, if you're investing time and effort setting up mod_python servers, you're wasting time and effort. You have about 18-24 months to move away from mod_python before your Django projects stop working. WSGI is very much the way forward; mod_wsgi is available for Apache, and a number of other web servers; several of these web servers (including Apache) are available on Windows. There are also FastCGI deployment options available. I can't comment on the best option for Windows deployment, though.
