BTW, I should point out that both of these techniques are actually
dangerous to use if you keep your Python code for your handler in
the same directory. That is because your .py and .pyc files are
accessible for people to download. Always a good idea to also use:

   <Files "*.py">
   deny from all
   </Files>
   <Files "*.pyc">
   deny from all
   </Files>

Or similar obscure regular expression which catches both at the
same time.
