  Python process which loads a mod_python handler, cgihandler or psphandler on
293

  the given file.

 **Discussion**: The question remains how exec should handle directories. It
297
 
 *could* redirect to the browser, but this would only be feasible if the user
298
 
was logged in (exec is available to the public). I would prefer if it acted
299
 
like a web server, either presenting a basic directory listing (possibly
300
 
using part of the browser code), or just giving a HTTP 403 Forbidden error.
 
295
* When presented with a directory, it first tries to execute `__init__.py`
 
296
  (the default item for the directory). It could also look for `index.html` or
 
297
  `index.psp` if that failed. Failing that, it returns an HTTP 403 Forbidden
 
298
  error.
