<LI>Python 2.2.1 or later. Earlier versions of Python will not work.
59
<LI>Apache 2.0.40 or later (For Apache 1.3.x, use mod_python version 2.7.x).
64
In order to compile mod_python you will need to have the include files
65
for both Apache and Python, as well as the Python library installed on
66
your system. If you installed Python and Apache from source, then you
67
already have everything needed. However, if you are using prepackaged
68
software (e.g. Red Hat Linux RPM, Debian, or Solaris packages from
69
sunsite, etc) then chances are, you have just the binaries and not the
70
sources on your system. Often, the Apache and Python include files and
71
libraries necessary to compile mod_python are part of separate
72
``development'' package. If you are not sure whether you have all the
73
necessary files, either compile and install Python and Apache from
74
source, or refer to the documentation for your system on how to get
75
the development packages.
