   A script (any script) should not "rebder" HTML - it will just pass the
HTML back to a browser. Do I understand your question right that instead of
HTML you get the source code of the script?

   It seems your web-server was not configured to recognize .py extension
as a CGI extension. Reconfigure your server.
