[mod_python] invalid command pythonhandler

If PythonHandler hasn't been recognised, then mod_python possibly hasn't
been loaded at all. Check the error log file for the Apache restart
message and see if it mentions mod_python. Also ensure you have
appropriate LoadModule directive and did actually restart Apache.

See:

  http://www.dscpl.com.au/articles/modpython-001.html

for other useful information.
