[mod_python] transhandler setup?

If you want all requests falling under a directory to be handled by
mod_python use SetHandler and not AddHandler. Eg.

   <Directory /some/path>
   SetHandler mod_python
   PythonHandler main
   </Directory>

Read the documentation for further information of the difference.
