I use index.py in /topdir/webdir (it's a framed page in which the others pages 
are also in /topdir/webdir. I can put out the .py because I don't really need 
it, but I don't find how to mix .html and .py files together (and I don't 
want to use PSP pages because I need to call others modules). The others .py 
pages use the publisher with a index(req) method, like menu.py which have to 
call cartair.py located in /topdir (and not /topdir/webdir!), and this is the 
problem. One time they can call cartair.py, another time not.
