Django mod-python error

Question

Can someone tell me what a strange mistake this is

 Mod_python error: "PythonHandler django.core.handlers.modpython"

 Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 287, in HandlerDispatch
log=debug)

 File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 464, in import_module
  module = imp.load_module(mname, f, p, d)

Answer 1

That you are missing the cookie package (which is not part of Django), but it needs to be built in.

If you are using Python 3, please note that it has Cookiebeen renamed to http.cookies, and that Django is not compatible with Python 2.x.

This is what you are missing :. http://docs.python.org/library/cookie.html

Edit

I see that you are running python 2.4. Consider upgrading to python 2.6 or 2.7 and check for availability/usr/lib/python2.4/Cookie.py

Decision

There was no path, so adding

sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.4/')

solves the problem.
