Assuming you're using publisher and your DocumentRoot is /var/www/html, 
you can do this:

  <Directory /var/www/html>
    AddHandler python-program .py
    PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
    PythonDebug On
  </Directory>

That would allow you to use .py files almost anywhere. Specify a 
subdirectory if you want to limit it. There are no conflicts with mod_php.
