Given that this is a beta, I would hope that the distro people don't
get on to it quickly or at all. It was a right pain the last time a
beta of mod_python was released and RPMs got distributed, as it took us
a lot longer to get rid of the beta version out of the pipeline when
the non beta was actually released.

Thus, if you really want to try out this beta, compile it from source
code, otherwise wait for the official non beta release. If you don't
like compiling from source, then you possibly aren't the sort of person
who should be using this beta version in the first place, especially
when compilation on different platforms is always a part of what we
want tested in releasing a beta.
