I know. Its hard enough for someone like me as it is without things like this complicating it!I have another one for the group, but I will save it for another day ;)I have been looking for contact details for the author to ask him what he was eluding to with the exercise, but to no avail.

I am trying to execute .py scripts from my
apache web server , but it is not giving the results

import cgi
