did you look ak CGIHTTPServer.py's "test()" function? you can actualy run 
that module to get your server.

on different scripts? or on the same wheny ou try it several times?
if its the former problem, make sure that you save all your cgis with
"#!/usr/bin/env python" (or similar) as the first line, make it executable 
and world readable (chmod a+rx script.py")
