Slackware Linux 10.1
Python 2.4.1
Apache 2.1.6 Alpha

To fix:

Before running ./config, remove this from src/filterobject.c:

if (!APR_STATUS_IS_EAGAIN(self->rc) && !APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS(self->rc)) {
   PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_IOError,
   PyString_FromString("Input filter read error"));
   return NULL;
}

And remove this from src/connobject.c:

if (! APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS(rc)) {
   PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_IOError,
   PyString_FromString("Connection read error"));
   return NULL;
}

Then configure/make/make install/test:

Modify test.py for Apache 2.1.6-alpha, which has replaced mod_auth with 
mod_auth_basic:

  IfModule("!mod_auth_basic.c",
     LoadModule("auth_basic_module %s" %
     quoteIfSpace(os.path.join(modpath, "mod_auth_basic.so")))))

Run test.py again:

Now all tests fail with socket error (111, 'Connection refused'). Since 
the errors are consistent, this might be an easy fix, I just haven't 
figured out the problem, yet.

Anyway, starting Apache normally loads mod_python fine, and I can run a 
simple "Hello, World!" module using Publisher.

I know Apache 2.1.6-alpha is still a moving target, but hopefully this 
will indicate some potential problems with the forthcoming Apache 2.2.x 
stable branch that can be fixed now, such as the (deprecated?) 
APR_STATUS_IS_SUCCESS references.
