Do you have root access to your VPS? If there is a pretty consistent set of IP addresses making these attacks, then you might be able to use a software firewall built into linux called iptables. If not, or if it's hard to differentiate between attackers and legitimate requests by IP address then you might take a look at an apache module called bwshare, which we've had some success with. mod_evasive I'm unfamiliar with. Either way though you might find more folks with experience posting on a dedicated apache/linug list: if you're using apache and proxying request through to your pylons app, then installing and using an apache module should be exactly the same even if you weren't specifically using pylons.
