problem running a python script using apache,mod_python on linux

[neha]

hi,
i m trying to integrate python with apache on linux.For this i m using
mod_python.
I dont see any problem with the versions of python,apache and
mod_python i m using.
the versions i m using are
apache version2.
mod_python v3.1.14
python2.4
The problem is,when i m running my python script,after starting apache
,it is showing me the code it has.

My error_log is showing the following message
[Tue Oct 18 19:01:06 2005] [notice] Apache/2.0.55 (Unix)
mod_python/3.1.4 Python/2.4.2 configured -- resuming normal operations
[Tue Oct 18 19:01:06 2005] [info] Server built: Oct 17 2005 13:07:52
[Tue Oct 18 19:01:06 2005] [debug] prefork.c(956): AcceptMutex: sysvsem
(default: sysvsem)
the access_log is showing this message:
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2005:19:01:14 +0530] "GET /apache_pb.gif
HTTP/1.1" 200 2326
127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2005:19:01:19 +0530] "GET /test/mptest.py
HTTP/1.1" 200 110
from the python script,i m returning an apache.OK ,so i think it goin
on fine,as i m getting 200i.e the hhtp processing is goin on fine.
I have made the required changes to the httpd.conf file
***
LoadModule python_module /home/ngupta/Apache2/modules/mod_python.so
DocumentRoot "/home/ngupta/Apache2/htdocs"

<Directory />
AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

***
I m using a .htaccess file placed under Apache2/htdocs/test/
The .htaccess file has the following code
**
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
**
where mptest is python script and is as follows
**
from mod_python import apache
def handler(req):
req.send_http_header()
req.write("Hello")
return apache.OK
**
so if anyone knows where the problem lies ,please tell me.
thanks.

Neha,

I have made the required changes to the httpd.conf file
***
LoadModule python_module /home/ngupta/Apache2/modules/mod_python.so
Did you also add the line:
AddModule mod_python.c
DocumentRoot "/home/ngupta/Apache2/htdocs"

<Directory />
AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>

***
I m using a .htaccess file placed under Apache2/htdocs/test/
The .htaccess file has the following code
**
AddHandler mod_python .py
PythonHandler mptest
PythonDebug On
**

I didn't see anything else that jumps out.
