Python CGI programming

[Gerhard Häring]

Your Python code is ok. Assuming the Python interpreter really is at
/usr/bin/python. If not, you must adjust the first line of the script to
point to the location of the python interpreter. Another common place
would be /usr/local/bin/python.

First you should find out if the webserver supports user CGI scripts at
all. If it does, these must normally be put in a directory named
cgi-bin, like ~/home_html/cgi-bin. The script must also have the
executable bit set (assuming you are on Unix, of course).

chmod +x feedback.py    sets the executable bit of your script.
