If you want to include a psp file you must use it, otherwise the parser 
expects to find a valid python statement which is clearly not the case here.

I took a look at your original email and I think you are chasing the 
wrong problem, as you never actually render the page. Your index.py 
should look like this:

from mod_python import apache, psp, util, Cookie, Session

def index(req):
     # It always a good idea to set the content type
     # for browsers like Firefox
     req.content_type = 'text/html'
     filename = "tst3.psp"
     template = psp.PSP(req, filename)
     # render the page!
     template.run()
     return apache.OK

Also, there is an error in your apache config, but I think it is just a 
typo in your message, otherwise you wouldn't even get the parse error.

# Wrong
PythonHandler index:index

# Right
PythonHandler index::index

Everything should work once you make these changes, including the '@' 
character.

<%@ include file="tst4.psp"%>
