As I had the problem that python was no longer found after I did a full
upgrade yesterday , I endet up adding this
to /etc/opt/csw/init.d/cswapache2 :

[...]
PYTHONEXECUTABLE=/opt/csw/bin/python
PYTHONHOME=/opt/csw/
export PYTHONEXECUTABLE
export PYTHONHOME
[...]

The errors which showed up : 

[Thu Sep 26 00:00:04 2013] [error] make_obcallback: could not import
mod_python.apache.\n ImportError: No module named mod_python.apache

I am still looking into it, I do not have any clue what has happened.

May be this can help choose the interpreter ?

BTW: mod_python is again under active development
