[mod_python] How can I have sensible URLs?

Basically, the publisher doesn't have a "default" method name. (There is
no particular reason for this, it just didn't occur to me at the time of
writing.)

There is probably more than one way to accomplish something to that
extent, one way would be to try a redirect, something like:

Redirect /index.py http://www.mydomain.com/index.py/index
