The difference is that with the development server you are mounting
your application at the root of the URL namespace. In mod_python you
are mounting it on a subdirectory. Thus use instead:
(r'^mysite/polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
In other words, mount point needs to be expressed from root of URL
name space if anchoring with '^'.
Similar for admin pages URLs etc.
This all arises because Django doesn't take into consideration the
mount point of the whole Django application when using mod_python or
WSGI servers. This is a known issue and there are various tickets
about it.
