Normally, Apache (and other webservers like IIS) pre-process headers UNLESS
you prefix the script name with "nph-". Try to do this:

<!--#exec cmd="/usr/local/bin/python /path/to/nph-script.py" -->

And - of course - rename your script accordingly. I haven't tried it, but it
should give you greater control with the headers.
