Well, after I followed your advice for putting webmastr in the www- data group, I was getting 403 errors and forbidden errors on all of my sites, so I 777 public_html recursively, so now it's all running, I'd suppose that Apache should have access to it. So, from there on, I'm lost at what could be the problem. I know Mod_Python is working, I know Python is working, I know Apache is passing off to Mod_Python, I just don't know why it can't find the project.
