You don't _need_ welcome.htm. Try this first: rewrite dispatch.py to:

from mod_python import apache

def handler(req):

    req.write(""""<html>
<head><title>welcome to this site!</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>Hello, world! This is a new site!</h1></center>
</body>
</html>""")
    return apache.OK

If you truly want to keep the HTML separate (and I think you should),
begin by rewriting dispatch.py to:

from mod_python import apache
import codecs
import os.path
localDir = os.path.dirname(__file__)

def handler(req):
    atoms = aRequest.uri.split("/")
    script = atoms.pop()
    newFileName = os.path.join(localDir, script)
    infile = codecs.open(newFileName, "r", "ISO-8859-1")
    req.write(infile.read().replace(u'\r\n', u'\n'))
    infile.close()    
    return apache.OK

Hope that helps!
