Hmm... I'm not 100% familliar with the publisher module, but try this:

PythonHandler test

and put a file called 'test.py' in your www directory, then go to it
and see if it works.
http://yourhost/test.py

A simple test.py:
--
from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):
        req.content_type = 'text/plain'
        req.write("Hello World!")
        return apache.OK
--

That works for me, but when I use the publish handler, it fails (it
sends me the .py file!)  So, this could very well be a bug.

Try that and see what happens...
