Your test2.py file is something you might use if you were writing your 
own handler. Publisher is a little different. It first looks for the 
index method. Try this (Notice :

def index(req):
     req.content_type = "text/plain"
     return "Hello World! Blarg!"


You can also do something like this:

def index(req):
     req.content_type = "text/plain"
     req.write("Hello World! Blarg!")

Notice that we are *not* returning apache.OK. Publisher looks after this 
for you.

You can also publish other methods in your file:

def foo(req):
     return "This is foo"

and fetch it with http://localhost/test/test2.py/foo
