Built mod_python (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS - Focal Fossa), using deb.sury for apache2 and apxs. Python3 runtime / library is Python 3.8.10 Apache/2.4.46 (Ubuntu) Using ./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python3

The following is repeated until apache is stopped.

We are pulling out from using this package, which is unfortunate.
@grisha, it would be really useful if you could get this working on a modern system. During the build there were several 'deprecated' notifications.

Yep, it's a shame all right. You should reconsider.

I would like to help with your issues, unfortunately I am not familiar with compile errors. I can tell you that I compile modpython form git often on debian 11 (amd64) and have had no problems.

./configure make checkinstall -D --install=no

I don't see any errors. That gives me a deb I can install on both of my machines. Works great.
