I have now tried this on Apache 2.0, and even there, returning 
apache.DECLINED
doesn't result in PHP files being processed correctly without turning 
off
mod_python handling of PHP, so that the PHP module has first go at it.

If you have actually got this working, I would like to know how as it 
would
be useful in avoiding the step of disabling the handler for PHP files.
