This code looks like you are attempting to define a handler.  In this case
the handler needs to be properly set up in either your httpd.conf or a
.htaccess (assuming your configuration allows for that).

You don't access handlers like you do CGI.  This problem likely lies in
your configuration and not in your code.  I would look at mod_python's
documentation some more and probably start with mod_python's
PublisherHandler for initial testing and experimentation.
