The OP was using Python 2.5, so shouldn't be an issue because pyexpat
properly name space prefixes its version of expat. See:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/IssuesWithExpatLibrary

where explicitly says that only applies to Python prior to Python 2.5.

His problem is therefore likely to be something completely different.
