If I add a slash to the end of the directory in the Directory directive it works.
<Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/test/">
    AddHandler python-program .py
    PythonHandler test
    PythonDebug on
</Directory>

I couldn't get a Location directive to work either way, though.
Is there a reason for this which I don't understand?
Thanks.
