[mod_python] options to suppress error when accessing module directly with Publisher

Bugs reported on the mailing list inevitably get lost over time. You 
should
instead log any bugs at:

   http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON?report=select

It is preferable if you can check whether the problem also exists in 
3.1.X
and note that in the bug report.

 From what I can tell, both things you talk about are addressed in 3.1.X.
