MacPorts + mod_python == boo
It seriously just took me post of the night that in order to install mod_python in macports and have it work properly you have to also install py25-hashlib. Still not quite working, but at least it’s not just crashing out anymore. I’m on OS X Leopard. I get the feeling Tiger would have the same issue so long as you’re on MacPorts 1.600.
