Because you use AddHandler, you should be able to mix .html and .py 
files. But with Multiviews on, you must take pains to use unique names 
for your files (after removing the extension), or the results will be 
unpredictable (you can't have multiple files named index.html, index.py, 
index.py~, index.cgi, index.jpg, index.bak, etc.). Be sure to remove any 
extraneous backup files, which sometimes cause problems with MultiViews.

Sorry, I missed the location in your PythonPath directive. If I may ask, 
why must cartair.py be in /topdir? There are any number of reasons why 
this may be a bad idea, but I'm not familiar enough with your setup to 
comment on the restriction. In any case, it must be in your path,  so 
use the PythonPath directive. Keep in mind that this will remove 
/topdir/webdir from being automatically added to your path, so if you 
are importing modules from that directory, it will also need to be added 
to PythonPath.
