sure

Apache Config:
<Directory /home/pavel/data/webwork/python>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride FileInfo
	SetHandler mod_python
	PythonHandler index
	PythonDebug On
	Order allow,deny
	allow from all
</Directory>

index.py:
from mod_python import apache, psp, Cookie
import time, sys
from module import article

bla = dir()

def handler(req):	
	content = req.uri[1:].split("/")+bla
		
	req.content_type = "application/xhtml+xml"
	
	template = psp.PSP(req, 'template/main.xhtml')
	template.run({"title":"News", "user":"Pavel", "content":content, 
"pages":3, "active":1})

	return apache.OK
