instead of asking how to do X so that you can do Y, ask directly how to do Y.
Why do you need python at all in the chroot? Installing all the needed files (and keeping them up-to-date!) manually in a chroot is a pain. Since httpd speaks fastcgi, why not write some python code that accepts the requests over fastcgi? (assuming this is what you're trying to do, but you didn't tell.)
