Presuming you are using straight PSP and not PSP from within
publisher, follow example on:

  http://www.modpython.org/live/current/doc-html/hand-psp.html

to enable .psp_ access for debug. This will show in browser the source
code when page accessed with .psp_ extension instead of .psp. Post to
the mailing list the snippet of source code being generated for the
section of PSP code giving the problem or look at it yourself and see
why it might not be working.
