Do a sanity check to see if the .htaccess file is actually being read.
One can use another feature of mod_python to check this. Add:

   PythonOption Name

If mod_python is working okay and the .htaccess file is being read,
this should cause a 500 server error to be returned as a value for
option hasn't been supplied.

If you don't see this, then might be that main httpd.conf file not
configured to allow .htaccess in that part of directory hierarchy,
although, not sure if that is possible.

Next step might be to use the original <Directory> directive block
you had and put it in the main httpd.conf in an appropriate spot
to see if that makes a difference.

BTW, in your content handler, use "text/plain" and not "text/html"
as it isn't actually HTML.
