Add this to the appropriate section of srm.conf (or httpd.conf,
if you follow the new single-file fad).
    AddHandler cgi-script .py
Alternatively, if you don't want to advertise to the sociopathic
crackers of the world what your CGI scripts were written in, just use:
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
and change the script file names to have the cgi extension.
You can also use the PyApache module which integrates Python
rather more closely with Apache, but that is beyond the scope
of this article.
