[mod_python] What is a directory?

Stefan -

When InterpPerDirectory is On, the interpreter name would be based on the 
directory name extracted from req->filename.

Read the note at the bottom of 
http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/dir-other-ipd.html
for some more information.

Probably where you are confused is that you don't "handle a request", you 
handle a _phase_ of a request, and Apache handles phases you don't 
explicitely handle.
