I could find around.  Works fine w Python CGI (GET & POST) in my experience.

Simplest try: change the ACTION url of your form to visit cgi.py directly
(copy it in the cgi-bin directory or wherever it is you keep your cgi's); it
will output copious information as a test that things are running fine, what
information has been passed, etc etc.
