Local Python Server Installation

Fri Sep 27 11:44:49 EDT 2002

Steve,

I stumbled onto this problem while going through the first exmaple in
the book Python:How to Progra, by Deitel, Deitel, Liperi and
Wiedermann.

My little code sniipet, copied exactly from the book except for the
path to my python exe is :

________________________________________________

#!C:\prog\Python22\python.exe

import time

def printheader(title):
	print """Content-type: text/html

	<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
	<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC
		"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
		"DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
	<html xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
	<head><title>%s</title></head>

	<body>""" % title

printheader("Current Date & Time")
print time.ctime(time.time())
print "</body></html>"
___________________________________________________

I get the following error in IE6 :

The XML page cannot be displayed 
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and
then click the Refresh button, or try again later. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource
'http://localhost/ken.py'. Line 1, Position 1 

#!C:\prog\Python22\python.exe
^

and when using Mozilla 1.0, all I get is the listing of the script.

Bummer.

Any advise?

Thank you.

Regards,
Kenneth.
