Sam:

If I remember correctly, no config changes are required for Python cgi
scripts in the cgi-bin directory. You just have to put the correct shebang
line at the head of the Python, which in my case was something like

C:\Python20\python -u

The -u gives you unbuffered output, which is useful in many contexts.
