You can use meta tag in your head section to call your script for example

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=
http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/cgi-script.py";>

which will call your script immediately on index.html load.

Or you can also use java script redirect in the body tag of index.html
something like this:

 <body onLoad="window.location=
http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/cgi-script.py";>

You can also use a relative path to your script in the examples above in
regards to the index.html file so you can put something like
"../cgi-bin/script.py" instead
http://yourdomain.com/path/to/your/cgi-script.py
