[mod_python] Try # 2: Mod_python.publisher behavior - sending .py file to browser - Still !

As a workaround for now, use the following for .htaccess file:

   SetHandler mod_python
   PythonHeaderParserHandler index::_fixup_directory
   PythonHandler mod_python.publisher
   PythonDebug On

and in index.py file put:

   from mod_python import apache
   import os, posixpath

   def _fixup_directory(req):
       if os.path.isdir(req.filename):
           if req.filename[-1] == '/':
               path = posixpath.join(req.uri, 'index.py')
               req.internal_redirect(path)
               return apache.DONE
       return apache.OK

   def index(req):
           req.write("I am in index()")

   def bar(req):
           req.write("I am in bar()")

Right now I'm not quite sure why it is mucking up but I'll look into it
further.
