I've been using this configuration for a long time with no problems:

         <Directory /var/www/myhost/site>
                 AddHandler python-program .py
                 PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
                 PythonDebug On
                 Options MultiViews
         </Directory>

This allows the type of URLs the OP desires. The only caveat that I'm
aware of is that you *must not* have similar names with different
extensions (foo.py, foo.php, foo.html, foo.jpg, etc.), or there will be
unexpected results when apache tries to guess which one to use.

versions: apache 1.3.x, mod_python 2.7.x
