If you're using IIS, another possibility is to use PythonScript as a
scripting language for ASP.

Possibly a lot simpler to configure than the other options that have
been suggested.

However, I should point out that I've never actually used ASP for
anything serious, because I dislike the concepts involved.

ZPT rocks! :-)
