You do not need mod_python if you want to use Python in traditional CGI scripts. Simply follow the Apache instructions for setting up CGI scripts and ignore mod_python all together. If you really did want to use mod_python, consider reading: http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-001.html It provides more detailed instructions on getting a first test handler running.
