Think you might be mixing handler/publisher conventions here. The
inclusion of "index" in the URL is not necessary when defining your own
handler, that is more a property of how mod_python.publisher works.
As long as SetHandler is used instead of AddHandler, then the path:

  http://example.com/this/path/is/not/to/be/processed

should be fine.

Agree that one shouldn't call it index.py, although not for the reason
stated. Problem with calling it index.py is that it is too commonly used
and you end up hitting the known issues in module loader with same
name used in multiple directories.

Again, suggest Vampire as perhaps an alternative example to look at
rather than mod_python.publisher. :-)
