My apologies -- it's mod_python that fails, not Paste. I removed my
working Paste package (with the forced __init__.py) and reinstalled
the one without __init__.py. Here's the result:

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler paste.modpython"

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line
287, in HandlerDispatch
    log=debug)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line
461, in import_module
    f, p, d = imp.find_module(parts[i], path)

ImportError: No module named paste

So Paste is actually the victim, not the culprit. I don't know if
there's any way to work around this aside from building the package
with an __init__.py -- any ideas?

Thanks,
