Try forcing mod_python to run your code in the first interpreter
instance created by Python.
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
If that still doesn't work then you are hitting problems in mod_python
related to how it does GIL management or how the third party package
is implemented and whether it is compatible with use in secondary
Python interpreters. For details see:
If it still doesn't work and your application is a WSGI application
and you aren't using mod_python specific features, only choice at this
point would be to use mod_fastcgi or mod_wsgi instead. If using
mod_wsgi, you would still need to tell it to run your code in first
interpreter instance created by Python.
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
For some details on issues related to this problem, see sections
'Python Simplified GIL State API' and 'Multiple Python Sub
Interpreters' in mod_wsgi document:
