## AI overview

The article explains that mod_python messages about reimporting django.core.handlers.modpython are generated when Apache starts a child process. These messages indicate the handler is being imported for that process and can be ignored. It also notes that mod_python 3.3.1 addressed related module-reloading problems.

## Source excerpt

If you use Django with Apache, no doubt you have noticed lots of these lines in your log file: mod_python: (Re)importing module 'django.core.handlers.modpython' Well, over on django-users Graham Dumpleton finally cleared it up: You can ignore these messages from mod_python. You will see them every time Apache starts up a new child process for handling requests. It is just telling you that it is importing the handler for mod_python for the first time for that process.
