[mod_python] Problems with mod_python

Here is what I have put into my configuration file:

<Directory /python>
    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler mptest
    PythonDebug On
</Directory>

I have also tried things with the /test directory with the
same result. 

Any light you can further shed would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

/martha
