Your web server doesn't handle the Python script as a CGI script, but
as a normal document instead.

So the answer is: configure your web server appropriately.

Depending on your webserver, one of these groups is appropriate for
questions about configuration:

comp.infosystems.www.servers.mac
comp.infosystems.www.servers.misc
comp.infosystems.www.servers.ms-windows
comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix

You can also find some Python specific answers for at least IIS,
Apache on http://python.faqts.com and IIRC also in the Python FAQ.
