The simplest way is to use Python scripts as CGI's. This appears to work
very straighforwardly without any need to configure Apache. You sinply
ensure that your scipts appear in cgi-bin directories, and ensure that thay
start with a leading comment which allows Apache to run them through the
Python interpreter -- typically

#!C:\Python20\python -u

The  -u gives unbuffered I/O.

After that, take a look at mod_snake, or the older mod_python, for closer
integration.
