Is anyone able to run the check for me to answer my extra question about
what the handler directory is set to on Win32 platform? Ie., 
confirmation
that it also still uses POSIX directory separate convention and not 
Win32.

The required publisher code is:

def index(req):

   root = "???"

   if hasattr(req,"hlist"):
     # In mod_python 3.X have the req.hlist member.
     root = req.hlist.directory

   elif hasattr(req,"get_dirs"):
     # In mod_python 2.X have the req.get_dirs() method.
     root = req.get_dirs()["PythonHandler"]

   return root

Thanks in advance.
