Don't worry, it looks as though they don't completely understand either :-)
Fortunately they've given you the information you need to run CGI
scripts. Try installing this script in your cgi-bin directory as test.py
(you may have to set it executable):
#!/usr/bin/env python
#
import os
print "Content-Type: text/plain"
print
for t in os.environ.items():
print "%s=%s" % t
If it runs when you access http://yourdomain/cgi-bin/test.py it looks
like you're good to go!

Steve
