You are most likely missing the line "from mod_python import apache".
Use the mptest example exactly as written in the linked document I sent. Ie.,

  from mod_python import apache

  def handler(req):
      req.content_type = 'text/plain'
      req.send_http_header()
      req.write('mptest.py\n')
      return apache.OK
