You should only need something in your <directory cgi-bin> like:
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin">^M
    AllowOverride None^M
    Options None^M
    Order allow,deny^M
    Allow from all^M
    AddHandler python-program .pys
    PythonHandler myhandler
    PythonDebug On
<directory "c:/Program Files/Gpache Group

which will send anything to a name (existing or not) like "bill.pys"
off to cgi-bin/myhandler.py

(my guess is you messed up the AddHandler or PythonHandler statements)

I also had some luck doing this with Python 2.3, but made some changes
and never made it back to Kansas. Basically, I was just binary editing
the DLL and changing the one occurence of python22.dll to python23.dll.
Mostly caused no harm :()
