If you use SetHandler rather than AddHandler, it will process all
requests in the scope through mod_python.

   <Directory "/script/home/learning/">

       SetHandler mod_python .py
       PythonHandler index
       PythonDebug On

   </Directory>

I'm not quite sure if that is what you meant though as when you say
'xxx.anything', do you mean just for the resource with that name, or
are you implying some wildcarding, or as above, anything in the
directory. If just that resource:

   <Directory "/script/home/learning/">

       DirectoryIndex index.py

       Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
       AddHandler mod_python .py
       PythonHandler index
       PythonDebug On

       <Files xxx.anything>
       SetHandler mod_python
       </Files>

   </Directory>

Can you provide a better example of what you want? Perhaps also
expressing it in terms of the final goal as opposed to a specific step
along the way.
