[mod_python] "unsubscriptable object" error when instantiating a session

Known issue, see:

   http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-50

It is because you are setting PythonHandler outside of a Directory
directive. You could have worked around the problem by setting
ApplicationPath rather than changing source code, although source
code fix has already been included for next version.
