I asume you have in your apache config file:

PythonHandler test

This means that mod_python needs to look for a pythonscript called 'test'.

But :) In your Pythonpath you also have the dir c:\programme\python20\lib\
and the directory c:\programme\python20\lib\test\ matches your handler.

Python then looks for an __init__.py to 'execute' the directory as a
pythonscript, and this is obviously not what you want.
