It could be that the applet could run because of an error. You may want to
try the following:

1. Try launching the PythonCGISlave applet 'by hand' and see if it posts a
"Can't find PythonCore" (or something like that) error dialog.
2. If so try to run the ConfigurePython applet.
3. Back to point 1. above.

There seem to be an issue with applets not being able to find PythonCore
after a reboot. Running ConfigurePython seems to cure that problem. I've put
an alias to ConfigurePython in my Startup Items folder to take care of this
problem.

Hope this helps.
