Actually I think what he was trying to get at is that mod_python unlike
cgi doesn't require the scripts to reside in any certain directory. You
could for example create /~user/python-bin or something if you didn't
like the idea of intermixing your scripts with your html although I
don't see the point. If you want your scripts to reside in a specific
directory you should add a ptyhon path entry via htaccess so that 
mod_python knows where it might find your modules. I don't think any
server is configured to treat all file within cgi-bin as CGI. The reason
for a separate directory afaik is to restrict the scope of ExecCGI.

Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

Best Regards,
Charles Stevenson
