The danger in overriding the Apache default content type, rather than having the Python code self contained, is that when you try and run your application in a different Apache environment it will stop working until you realise that you had changed something outside of the actual Python code to get it to work. Thus, changing the default in Apache can be considered bad practice as far as portability and maintainability of code. It certainly isn't something you want to do if trying to develop a product which you expect other people would want to install. So, by all means do it in your own environment if you want to, but please don't suggest it is a good thing for others to do, it isn't.
