Hi Jay,
You may want to ask the Apache folks about this one. Your question
specific enough that the Apache folks will probably be better at this one
than Python-Tutor.
If you strip your question to its essentials, it really is an Apache
configuration problem more than anything else; it really isn't related to
Python except from the tangential relation to mod_python. The behavior
you're seeing is how Apache deals with all Directory-specific directives:
subdirectories "acquire" the properties of their parent directory.
But from the notes in:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/sections.html
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#directory
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_mime.html#removehandler
it sounds possible for you to apply a RemoveHandler directive on the
subdirectories of whatever parent directory you're trying not to handle.
However, since we're really straying away from programming topics and into
web-server system administration, I'd strongly recommend continuing this
question on a mailing list like the one listed in:
http://httpd.apache.org/lists.html#http-users
