[mod_python] send file back to apache?

When using req.sendfile() it is still mod_python that is sending the
file and so Apache doesn't necessarily get its opportunity to do its
other stuff like etag and caching etc.

BTW, I forgot in my suggestion and important thing. You need to have
mod_python 3.3 or later and must also update req.finfo. Ie.,

  req.filename = '/some/path'
  req.finfo = apache.stat(req.filename)
  return apache.DECLINED

Note, this is slightly theoretical and I haven't fully tested it. :-)
