Make sure you turn off MultiViews. Add to your .htaccess file:

  Options -MultiViews

Alternatively, don't set it in the first place in the main Apache configuration
for that directory. Turning this off in a .htaccess file will require you to have
appropriate rights to do so.

You should then be able to avoid using a .py extension if configuring use of
publisher as:

  SetHandler python-program

This cannot be done if you used:

  AddHandler python-program .py

The MultiViews option can cause lots of problems when using mod_python and
is frankly better always turned off.
