Apache is probably running as a different user than you (e.g., maybe IUSR_XXX, where XXX is your
computer name), so probably you have to move mptest.py to some directory (you may want to create
one in the tree it already knows about for web stuff) where apache can find it, or tell it where
to find stuff in your personal part of the disk (the latter is not a good idea security-wise).

There could be other problems, but that would be my first guess.
