According to [1], and from my testing, mod_wsgi and mod_python conflict resulting in apache segfaulting.  The policy currently states that no packages in EPEL may conflict with a package from Red Hat Base.  Technically, mod_wsgi and mod_python conflict with each other, but mod_python is optional.

I agree, and think there might be room in the policy for edge cases like this.  I'd like to see something added to the policy that would cover this situation, being that mod_python is optional.
