How 'bout this:

import re, os, sys

def execute(page):
  code = 0
  g = { "H": H }
  l = {}
  for chunk in re.split(r"(<\?|\?>)", page):
    if chunk == "<?":
      code = 1
    elif chunk == "?>":
      code = 0
    else:
      if code:
        exec chunk in g, l
      else:
        sys.stdout.write(chunk)

print "Content-Type: text/html\n"
execute(open(os.environ["PATH_TRANSLATED"]).read())

? ;-)
