Is it possible that plpython.so is linked against an old version
of libpython? I see that the error message changed a few years ago:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Python/exceptions.c?r1=1.44&r2=1.45
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/python/python/dist/src/Python/exceptions.c?r1=1.45&r2=1.46

As I recall, Python must be configured with --enable-shared or you
don't get a shared version of libpython, so if you installed a new
Python but not a new version of libpython.*.so, then plpython.so
might be linked against an old version.

Does this machine have ldd or the equivalent? If so, can you compare
"ldd /path/to/python" and "ldd /path/to/plpython.so"?
