By adding that directory block to your httpd.conf, you are specifying 
the http handler for any requests that come in for any .py files in the 
directory "test".  it is your handler "mptest" or any that you specify 
as the PythonHandler that needs to load and return the results from the 
actual script that was requested.

mod_python provides a couple of handlers, cgihandler and publisher, that 
you can use that do the mapping to your script based on the URI, 
however, you may have to update your scripts to support these handlers.  
cgihandler in my opinion would be your best bet.
