Local Python Server Installation

[Kenneth Gomez]

Dear Gerhard

I tried your method. But instead of getting a cgi listing of my
environmental listings, all I saw on my browser was the two input
lines ..i.e. import cgi and cgi.test()

My url was http://localhost/test.py

Any advise.
Regards,
Kenneth.
