mod_python.publisher is poorly documented (the 'explanation' in section
6.1.2.1 of the manual is perhaps the most confusing attempt to explain
something in clear language that I've ever seen) and seems pretty
idiosyncratic, expecting you to return the page rather than write it
out piece by piece. In the absence of decent documentation I've tried
to experiment with it but couldn't find a consistent way of getting it
to call my pages, and often ended up with 404 errors in situations
where the tutorial led me to believe it would call a function. Is there
a more clear guide on how to use this?

By the way, thanks for the 3.1.3 file. That seems to have installed
fine now.
