[mod_python] Python scripts are showing source code

Basic mod_python handlers are not resource based like CGI. You
actually have to tell mod_python the name of a Python module
containing a content handler to execute. Thus PythonHandler directive
is very important. PythonDebug is useful because if something goes
wrong the error will show in the browser rather than you having to dig
through the Apache error logs to find it.

Thus, perhaps rather than make assumptions just follow the
instructions and get something working first to verify mod_python
works.

The closest thing then to the CGI resource model is to use
mod_python.publisher as PythonHandler. You then should however refer
to parts of mod_python documentation which talk about
mod_python.publisher as how you code the handler and other stuff in
the file is different.
