Python CGI Showing 500 internal server error

I'm a python developer, but when i'm putting my file inside a cgi-bin directory and running it through my browser its showing 500 internal server error.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

# enable debugging
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

print "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8"
print

print "Hello World!"

This is my test.py. Filelocation : http://mywebsite.com/cgi-bin/test.py

.htaccess file :

 RewriteEngine on
 Options +ExecCGI AddHandler cgi-script cgi py
 Options +ExecCGI SetHandler cgi-script

Please give some suggestion!

Assuming that the server set up is OK the most likely problem is forgetting to set the python file to executable after copy to the cgi-bin directory.
