As I see it you can create Handlers in mod_python, which then serve your
.something files.

I agree  that the manual is a bit unclear.
But installing a 3rd party mod_python like maki made things clearer to me.

Sure?

mod_python allows Python developers to write modules which plugs into the
Apache webserver, and have access to some of the internals.

I read that 4 times, I first understood after the maki mentioned above.

Yup.
