In vim:

I'm sure any editor which supports hebrew, arabic, and like will have no
problem, provided you've compiled it with support.  I admit, however, this
still doesn't fix python (mis) behaviour.  While one could use your script as
an automatic preprocessor, it would be much more user-friendly to just make
right-to-left the python default.

And it should print Content-type before every script, to make it suitable for
CGI.
