Major Description
When you have Apache ".htaccess" configuration like:
SetHandler mod_python
#PythonPath "['/Users/grahamd/Sites/auth']+sys.path"
<Files "page1.txt">
PythonHandler page1::handler_txt
</Files>
<Files "page2.txt">
PythonHandler page2::handler_txt
</Files>
and "page1.txt" is accessed, the req.hlist.directory attribute, which is supposed to list the name of the directory the PythonHandler directive was used in, gets set to "page1.txt/" instead.
This value then gets added into "sys.path". Because it doesn't actually identify the directory, the module "page1" cannot actually be found when the import is performed.

The only workaround at this point is to explicitly define the PythonPath directive to include the directory the modules and ".htaccess" file are in. Not sure yet whether there is a way in Apache of determining the directory the "Files" directive is used in and set "req.hlist.directory" correctly.
