The expat problem you are talking about is probably:

  http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash

It doesn't affect just Trac and can arise with any mod_python hosted
application which uses the Python expat module. The possibility of the
problem apparently goes away with Python 2.5 as the version of expat
embedded in Python module namespaces its symbols so there is no clash.

This problem doesn't mean you can't used older versions of Python. If
you are concerned, followed the steps described in the article to see
if your system might be affected.
