Using "AddType" in Apache to trigger mod_python isn't generally how
things are setup. You might want to review the installation 
documentation
for mod_python and start over with its test example. An alternate set
of instructions for getting a first test example in mod_python working
can be found at:

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/articles/modpython-001.html

It describes some of the problems that can arise and where to look to
solve what is happening, including the common problem of why browsers
want to save the response to a file.
