FWIW, it is a known issue that mod_python doesn't correctly raise an
error when you do make such a typo. See:

  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MODPYTHON-46

This is fixed in 3.2 and having "mptest" but then "mptest.handler" not
being present, should yield an error.

Mod_python error: "PythonHandler mptest"

Traceback (most recent call last):
