Replying to myself ... but I found a little more info, and I want to
send this to the list as well.

I found the following:

"""
apache.DECLINED, meaning this handler refused to handle this phase of
the requestand Apache needs to look for another handler. 
"""

Returning this seems to "work" in some sense, I get the following 404
now:

Not Found The requested URL /show.py/norm was not found on this server.

If I do not have the PythonTransHandler, my "normal" PythonHandler takes
care of this...

Thanks,
