good show. using this setting, try this handler:

from mod_python import apache
_types_to_skip = ['jpg', 'gif', 'png']
def handler(req):
    try:
    file_extention = req.uri.split('.')[-1].lower()
    if file_extention in _types_to_skip:
        return apache.DECLINED
    except:
        pass

this will tell apache to go on to another handler for requests ending
in any of the above extensions.

let us know if you have further questions.
