After installing mod_python there were errors in the next Plesk update.
Exception: Failed to solve dependencies:

Can I install another mod_phyton?
Hello Gilberto,
I did not reproduce the on my test server Centos7
If you are using CentOS 7/RHEL 7/CloudLinux 7 check that /etc/yum.repos.d/lux.repo contains below lines:
[lux]
name=CentOS $releasever - $basearch - Lux
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/$releasever
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-LUX
Also you can change baseurl
from:
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/$releasever
to:
baseurl=http://repo.iotti.biz/CentOS/7/
You can also search for any other 3rdpaty repositories that have mod_python through the internet.
