[mod_python] Complicated GET configuration

I switched to <Location ~ "/XMLRPC$">

So right now my apache config looks like: 

Alias /XMLRPC/$RHN/ /local/linux/current/www/

<Directory /local/linux>
    # I realize that the default config is to have symlinks on, but the 
    # current part should stand on its own.
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Location ~ "/XMLRPC$">
    PythonPath "sys.path+['/usr/share/current']"
    SetHandler python-program
    PythonHandler current_apache
</Location>

<Location /XMLRPC/$RHN>
    PythonPath "sys.path+['/usr/share/current']"
    PythonAuthzHandler current_apache
</Location>

That would be ideal. However, with the following code in 
/usr/share/current/current_apache.py:

def authzhandler(req):
    """ temp function for testing"""

    apache.log_error("Inside the authzhandler!")
    apache.log_error("method = %s" % req.method)
    apache.log_error("headers = %s" % pprint.pprint(req.headers_in))

    return apache.OK


After an apache restart (to make sure all the updated modules get
reloaded) I'm not seeing any of those log_errors in the error file.
Once I see something (anything) I'll replace that code with the real
thing.

I appreciate the help from the list.
