Just write your publisher's code into index.py file.
For example , if we have /var/www/test/index.py (where /var/www/ is
the httpd's document root), than we can use:

http://SERVER/test/     	(calls index function in index.py)
http://SERVER/test/hello        (calls hello function in index.py)
http://SERVER/test/?id=555      (calls index function with id paramater
				set to 555)

Set these options for test subdirectory (as for me, i prefer .htaccess):
  SetHandler mod_python
  PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
