You can assign different handlers to different extensions like this:

  AddHandler mod_python .py .psp
  PythonHandler mod_python.publisher | .py
  PythonHandler mod_python.psp | .psp

Note that this allows you to use PSP and Publisher as they are intended
to be used, depending on the file extension. IOW, You cannot put PSP
code in Publisher files and expect it to work.
