Yes, mod_python is pretty confusing to set up. Here's how I did it.

In httpd.conf:

LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so


  AddHandler mod_python .py
  PythonHandler myapp
  PythonDebug On

and in your application directory:

$ /serverbase/htdocs/myapp$ ls -l
total 16
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys        6484 May 21 15:54 myapp.py

Repeat the configuration for each python program you wish to have running under mod_python.
