Python with Apache on WinNT newbie question

[Gerhard Häring]

I recommend to add the following line to httpd.conf under WinNT:

ScriptInterpreterSource Registry

and give your Python scripts the extension ".py". A Python CGI script can
then look like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
print 'Content-type: text/plain\n\nHello!'

and work perfectly under WinNT and Linux!
