it is very inconveniently because:
    1) in the directory "mydir" there can be a lot of *.py scripts (not only
index.py), and i need to specify some default handler for each of module in
the directory.
    2) it makes superfluous redirections
So my question is still opened.

To provide this, temporary, i've changed resolve_object function in
publisher.py from mod_python in that way:

        try:
            #obj = getattr(obj, obj_str)
            obj = getattr(obj, obj_str, getattr(obj, '_default'))
        except AttributeError:
            raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_NOT_FOUND

than, i will define _default function in my /mypath/mydir/index.py or any
other modules in mydir.

i think it is very wrong to change standart libraries, but i did not found
the way, how to redifine this behavior in my index.py file.

is it possible to define some function in my module, to make it return
default attribute for getattr function?
or may be, if i dare, to expect such changes as above in future releases of
mod_python?

thanks for any help.
