My python file is also showing up as text as you can see:
http://zjeroen.heliohost.org/script1.py
http://www.zjeroen.heliohost.org/cgi-bin/script1.py
I've set the permissions to 0755 and added the line
AddHandler python-program .py
to my .htaccess. It's showing up in the Apache Handlers in cpanel.
My source is:
#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-Type: text/html"
print
print "Alive"
@Byron: What's the source of that snakecharmer.py? and what did you do to make ik work?
