How to execute python cgi script?

My server supports Python 2.7. It is located under /usr/bin/python2.7.

What do I have to take care of when trying to execute a cgi script ? I don't want to use Django or anything like that. I only want the script to be running and the text that was printed within the script to be shown as it was an html file.

print """<html>
<body>
Hi !
</body>
</html>"""

should be simply shown as

Hi !

in the browser.

To get a CGI script to run you have to setup your webserver to run the CGI scripts.

It pretty much depends on the server you are running:

CGI and Apache explains the basics for CGI and apache.

Another good resource is probably the web programming guide in the python documentation: Python web programming
