You configuration is wrong if your mptest.py file is "C:/Apache 
Group/Apache2.2/htdocs/mptest.py".

<Directory  "C:/Apache Group/Apache2.2/htdocs/mptest">
         AddHandler mod_python .py
         PythonHandler mptest
         PythonDebug On
</Directory>


Either create a directory C:/Apache Group/Apache2.2/htdocs/mptest and 
move mptest.py into it (which is the best plan), or if you want to set 
the handler for your complete htdocs tree use:

<Directory  "C:/Apache Group/Apache2.2/htdocs">
         AddHandler mod_python .py
         PythonHandler mptest
         PythonDebug On
</Directory>

For this config make sure your script "C:/Apache 
Group/Apache2.2/htdocs/mptest.py" exits.

Also, make sure you set the content type in your handler:

mptest.py
---------

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
     req.content_type = 'text/plain'
     req.write("Success!")
     return apache.OK
