Running cgi-scripts on my home Apache server

[Gerhard Häring]

Yes, it's actually quite simple:

1) Add the following line at the end of {Path of Apache}\conf\httpd.conf

ScriptInterpreterSource Registry

2) give your CGI scripts the extension .py (the Python installer should
have registered .py, .pyc, .pyo to be handled by python.exe), as in this
script:

file test.py in cgi-bin:
########################
#!/usr/bin/env python

print 'Content-type: text/html\n\nhello!'

I always add "#!/usr/bin/env" python as first line to my scripts, even
under Windows, so they can run unchanged under a Unix system (if python
is in the path on the Unix system). This procedure is the portable way,
so you don't have to fiddle with interpreter paths if you want to run
your scripts on another Windows machine or a Unix machine.
