Looking at this file, it's a great way to verify that mod_python is
working correctly, and it's pretty thorough in checking the apache
internals. However, it's neither simple nor intuitive for new people to
get started with mod_python I think. For a newbie, it looks like it
could be overwhelming.
Allow me to rephrase. It is a worth while addition as it should make it
easier *for experienced users* to assist newbies having problems getting
started with mod_python. :)
