Python Library Question

[Kurt Jansen]

I am new to Python, and am trying to implement a Web site using Python
for my CGI scripts.  I am having trouble using any of the functions in
the Python Library on my Web hosting provider's system.  For instance,
if I try to use the math functions, I get the following errors:
west38:~$ python
Python 1.4 (Dec 18 1996) [GCC 2.7.2.1]
Copyright 1991-1995 Stichting Mathematisch Centrum, Amsterdam
>>> import math
>>> x=2
>>> y=exp(x)
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
NameError: exp
>>>

Am I doing something wrong, or is the Python Library not loaded on my
hosting provider's system?
