Be warned that Apache 2.0 behaves a bit different to Apache 1.3.
Specifically, mod_mime, mod_index and mod_dir in Apache 1.3 will
actually look inside directories managed by a mod_python handler
and fiddle with URLs and apply stuff like DirectoryIndex whereas
in Apache 2.0 it doesn't. I feel that the Apache 2.0 behaviour is more
correct, especially if you are using SetHandler and more or less expect
to have almost total control. Your application might therefore not
work as expected on Apache 2.0.

Your caveat of having the same basename with different extensions
is a big problem for me with Vampire because of how it promotes
physical resources and having different views of those resources. It
is quite common when using Vampire to have "foo.html" and "foo.py"
where "foo.html" is a page template which is filled out by code in
"foo.py".
