I think you can ignore this error: it's happening because of your debug 
output of syst.path, which presumably takes place before the script 
prints out

"""Content-Type: text/html

"""
or similar.

If your program doesn't do that it'll likely not produce what you expect 
anyway.

Finally, you might want to think about adding

import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

to your existing scripts. This will give you a much more acceptable 
traceback from web conditions.
