No, it's right there: "SyntaxError".  You've got indentation problems, 
your function definition is indented inconsistently with the import 
statement at the top, most probably.

Just put the def... statement flush to the left margin, and it'll most 
probably work.

Also, you're using "AddHandler mod_python .py", so you're going to have 
to use an URL ending in .py when testing it, something like:

    http://localhos/python/whatever.py

to make it work.

Good luck :-)
