[mod_python] mod_python imports foo/__init__.py, not foo/bar.py

See:

   http://www.python.org/doc/essays/packages.html

Specifically:

   What If I Have a Module and a Package With The Same Name?

   You may have a directory (on sys.path) which has both a module spam.py
   and a subdirectory spam that contains an __init__.py (without the
   __init__.py, a directory is not recognized as a package). In this 
case,
   the subdirectory has precedence, and importing spam will ignore the
   spam.py file, loading the package spam instead. If you want the module
   spam.py to have precedence, it must be placed in a directory that 
comes
   earlier in sys.path.
