Just a wild guess, but maybe it is failing on the following line:

with open("grocery_list.txt") as grocery_list:

The with statement was introduced in Python 2.5, and if I look at my own 
webhost, they are still with Python 2.4.
Make a script that prints the Python version (with sys.version_info or 
sys.version for example) or ask your webhost.

You can also put this on top of your script, so it shows you a nice 
Python traceback instead of an error:
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()


Cheers,
Timo
