You can let python handle all the request on a path:

SetHandler python-program
PythonHandler handler

This will call handler.py - handler(req) for every request on this path.
If you don't want to call your handler handler:

PythonHandler myhandlerfilename:myhandlerfunctionname

If you still want to serve real files from this path, just return
apache.DECLINED from your handler and apache will retry the request with
the core handler.

I hope this helps,
