[mod_python] how do I eliminate the .py extension in url?

Except that calling things "index.py" opens up another big can of worms
if using publisher. See:

  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-9
  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-10
  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-11

Although some disagree, mod_python.publisher is broken in a number of
ways and needs a good overhaul.

Soon maybe I will hack together something to give same style of interface
as publisher on top of Vampire just to show how much better things could
be. Alas, probably no time to do so. :-)
