Inside the chroot directory, does /usr/lib/python2.4 exist?  Using
chroot usually means having to provide a fully functional environment
inside that directory.  I use the following technique:

1. Complete system install located at /opt/sandbox (which I set up using
rpm --root=/opt/sandbox)

2. /opt/sandbox mounted as ~/.sys for every user, using mount --bind

3. symlinks from ~/.sys/bin to ~/bin, ~/.sys/lib to ~/lib, etc.  This is
so I only have to have one bind mount per account.

Some kind of union mount would be ideal, but I haven't found a good
solution for that yet.  You could also just bind-mount the system /bin
to <chroot>/bin and so forth, but that kind of defeats the point of
using chroot.

oh, btw, I also run mod_python and it works fine for me.
