The difference between AddHandler and SetHandler in apache's conf.

Your problem is with Apache configuration, not with mod_python. The 
AddHandler directive maps <dirpath>/*.py to your handler. So you have to 
call <anythinghere>.py to trigger the desired behaviour. If you want 
*any* url under <dirpath> to be handled by mptest, you need to use 
SetHandler, not AddHandler.
