Is your webserver configured to allow cgi scripts? In the scripts directory? For Apache see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/cgi.html Python also comes with a CGI Server. A quick-and-dirty setup goes like this: $ cat cgi-bin/script.py #!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import cgi import cgitb cgitb.enable() input = cgi.FieldStorage() print "Content-Type: text/html" print print "<TITLE>My title:</TITLE>" print "</HEAD>" print "<BODY>" print "Hello world" print "</BODY>" $ chmod a+x cgi-bin/script.py $ python -m CGIHTTPServer Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ... If you then point your browser to http://localhost:8000/cgi-bin/script.py you should see Hello world in the browser and (something like) localhost - - [24/Sep/2011 08:41:27] "GET /cgi-bin/script.py HTTP/1.1" 200 - in the shell. Note that the script must be in cgi-bin (or htbin) unless you start the server with a custom script that modifies CGIHTTPRequestHandler.cgi_directories accordingly. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
