Not directly related to the Alpha release but I did some work on getting the Debian version of mod_python working with Apache 2.4 (stealing from other sources mostly). Some background is available here:
http://bugs.debian.org/666796

Also, a number of patches are carried against the 3.3.1 which may be of interest:
http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/libapache2-mod-python/3.3.1-11

Thanks for the info, @arthurdejong ! I think that all of that except for debian-specific stuff is addressed. The only real bug there was the connobject.c patch, and that's definitely fixed in 3.4.1. Apache 2.4 support is there so nothing custom should be done for it. There were a couple of debian-specific things - if you can think of some way to incorporate those into the code so that it is platform-neutral, I'd be happy to include that.

Seems like there is enough tests here for now, closing this issue and creating a release tarball.
