Could be. Python is a general purpose scripting 
language which includes being suitable for web work.

That depends on your web server.
Our local server runs any script with the extension 
of .cgi as a cgi script regard;less of location. 
Others have a special directory for cgi scripts 
which *by convention* is called cgi-bin - yours 
may be different.

Other web servers have still other ways of doing 
things - for example Oracle Web Server...

You need to talk to your site's webmaster.

Alsoo the webserver will need python installed
and your script will need to point to it - it 
may not be in the same location as on your 
local computer.

All of this applies to Unix/Linux web servers, 
I've absolutely no idea how NT/IIS works!
