One way around this that I use at $DAYJOB (to minimize exposure of a
PHP enabled webserver, thus minimizing attack surface, and also
allowing apache to fail for a site without taking 15 unrelated sites
with it), is to actually have two separate instances of httpd running,
one with mod_python, and the other with mod_python3.  Of course this
requires manual intervention on the part of the local admin, but I
would think that any admin that wanted to do this would be
sufficiently competent to handle the intricacies of that choice.
