Can you verify that Python1.52 isn't being run?  Since you mentioned
Python 2.0, it could be possible that Apache might be using the wrong
Python version.

You can check this with a quick script:

###
import sys
print "content-type: text/plain\n\n"
print sys.version
###

which should tell us if that's the problem.

Good luck to you!
