That would help explain things a lot.  I've been using Python for quite a
few years now and I am new to Apache, probably opposite of most users.  I
just did a default install of Apache and haven't learned/played with it too
much.  Python, however, I use everyday and can do most anything with it by
now (except using mod_python it would seem).

I didn't see anywhere in the mod_python docs the mention that Directory and
Location are Apache directives.  They are just used.  But, now that I know
it, I've got some reading to do over at apache.org.

Thanks,
