Thanks for the tip. You're right, on my Apache 2.x test server, I have 
to shut *off* MultiViews and use SetHandler instead of AddHandler to 
hide the .py extension. I guess Harry Nilsson was right ('Everything is 
the opposite of what it is, isn't it?')...

I imagine performance is better with MultiViews off, but I did like 
being able to mix different types of files in one directory by using 
AddHandler. Fortunately, my apps don't really depend on it.
