[Tutor] PyApache Module questions

I compiled the PyApache module into apache 1.3.19. Everything seems to work 
fine except for a small weirdness.

It seems that one must add a couple of "print"s to the beginning of one's cgi 
script for the module to write out to the browser.

ie

#!/usr/bin/python
import os, <among others>
print
print
print "Hi there, handsome..."


works fine but 

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
print "Hi there, handsome..."

produces a blank page.

I noticed that the demo script that comes with this module had two leading 
print statements, which clued me in a little. Is this a known idiosyncracy? 
Are there any other caveats associated with PyApache?

Thanks!
