Python errors from Apache?

[Chris Janton]

I noticed that my apache error log ''/opt/local/apache2/logs/ 
error_log'' now shows many errors like the following

Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

It's kind of hard to figure out where these are coming from, and what  
to do about them

sorry for the long list - not sure which ports are relevant to the  
problem
