[mod_python] Setting content location

First, make sure that you're setting headers prior to the first byte of
output written, because otherwise the headers have gone out already and
setting them is meaningless.

If that doesn't help it, please provide more info about your environment.
Note that mod_python 3.0.1 (and all prior versions) had a bug that would
not send headers correctly if you were using a DirectoryIndex directive
pointing to a mod_python handled location.
