This is not my article, i copied it from here for safe keeping.

First, you?ll need to grab the source to mod_python. I recommend version 3.3.1, which is what I?ve worked with. Then, you?ll need to unpack it:

$ tar xvzf mod_python-3.3.1.tar
$ cd mod_python-3.3.1
$ ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs

At that point, the configuration script will spit out a lot of things that you shouldn?t really care much about. Just make sure at the end it spits out a bunch of things about creating Makefiles. From there comes the normal sequence of events with most open source software:

$ make
$ sudo make install

The last requires the sudo command because it installs a bunch of pieces in privileged areas. Never run as root; always use sudo for your administrative needs. Finally, you need to add the module to your httpd.conf file, which is located in the /etc/apache2/directory, after making a back-up of course.

$ cd /etc/apache2
$ sudo cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.orig
$ sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Then, scroll down to where you?ll find all the LoadModule commands, and add another line:

LoadModule python_module /usr/libexec/apache2/mod_python.so

Now all that?s left is to reload Apache to make sure it loads the module for you:

$ sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl restart

At that point, you?re ready to proceed. The best place to start is the mod_python documentation, specifically the section on testing.
