Hi.

I'm trying to use Python to do some CGI scripting on my webserver.  I followed
the directions in the FAQ to enable CGI on the server's conf files (Apache on
Linux x86).

I was trying the "Hello World" example (attached), but I get an "Internal
Server Error".  The error log file says:

[Wed Sep 20 11:19:16 2000] [error] [client 129.21.137.39] Premature end of
script headers: /home/dman/public_html/script.py.cgi

script headers: /home/dman/public_html/script.py.cgi

What does this mean and how do I fix it?
