Oops I misunderstood. You can set a handler for a directory:

<Directory "/var/www/app/persons">
        SetHandler python-program
        PythonHandler handler::handler
	PythonPath "sys.path+['/var/www/app/lib']"
</Directory>

This assumes there is a handler.py somewhere in the sys.path with a
function handler defined. All the requests for this directory will be
handled by the PythonHandler.
