RemoveHandler .py

Supposedly Apache will serve up the files as plain text. I haven’t tried it yet to see if it works.

    It does work, I’ve been using it in a few directories on various sites I have. Quite helpful actually. :)

    Hi Andrew, good to know! I’ll have to do that on this server so I can post .py files a little easier.
