[mod_python] Returning a Apache return code

Note that you should almost always use 307 (moved temporarily) for a web 
application, because 301 tells the client to always go to the new location 
when the URL is requested without even asking for the original page.  I.e., 
the page has moved permanently, don't look here anymore.
