It comes as no surprise to me that the mod_python mailing list is dead:
nobody uses mod_python anymore. For all I know, it might be broken, and
the API was (IIRC) never particularly nice.

IMHO, you should use WSGI instead: it's an interface portable across web
server boundaries, and, with mod_wsgi, it's just as high-performance on
apache as was mod_python.

What does "not being rendered" mean? Do you have an exception traceback?
Can you maybe a full transcript of HTTP headers and output? (by
telnet'ing to the web server perhaps)
