I don't think that will do anything under Novell, assuming you mean
the Novell network OS and not Novell Linux? If its NovelWare then
you need to set the PATH to Python and set up the file associatiion
between your .py file and python. Then you need to use the cgi-bin
folder to store the file rather than your web app space.

At least that's what I did the last time I used a DOS based
server - but that was about 12 years ago!

If it's Novell Linux the standard /env/python should work.
