I've run into this issue in the past with Python 2.6 (or maybe 2.7) and mod_python. My problem was that datetime.strptime imported _strptime at runtime, and multiple threads trying to import it at the same time broke an internal import lock.

I was able to work around this by simply importing _strptime myself at server startup time. This may or may not work for you.
