I want to pass arguments to the script.py. I thought the way to do this
was
via the url
http://server/cgi-bin/script.py?argument1=value1&argument2=value2
ie an ampersand separated list of argument=value.

The idea is that when different hyperlinks are followed unique sets of
arguments
can be passed to the script.
