[mod_python] Newbie question: Apache config

Hello,
I am really confused with the way mod_python works. Unfortunately all the 
examples of apache configuration for mod_python I have seen are not very 
good, either that or its supposed to be extremely simple and I am not 
getting it. I have few python scripts that I'd like to run using mod_python, 
but I can't get them to work using PythonHandler mod_python.publisher.

Here is what I have in my conf.d/python.conf :
<Directory "/home/user/public_html/python">
 AddHandler mod_python .py
 PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
 PythonDebug on
</Directory>

This does not work for the mptest example from the mod_python documentation. 
I don't understand why it does not work. However changing the line to
PythonHandler
mptest it works. I can't imagine having to list out each and every python 
script I plan to run after PythonHandler. I know there has to be a better 
way. 

Also I am a bit confused between psp and a python script. The only 
difference as far as I can tell is, psp uses html with embedded python code, 
and a python script basically prints the html code. What other options do I 
have other than mod_python.publisher. Dropping do a python shell and 
importing mod_python doesn't give me any useful info. Doing a 
dir(mod_python) gives me:
>>> dir(mod_python)
['__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__path__']

Thanks,
Vijay Avarachen
