Oddly enough, http://httpd.apache.org/ has some very good information 
about configuring Apache. ;)

Add this line in the relevant section of your httpd.conf (I have it in 
the IfModule mod_mime.c part):

AddHandler cgi-script .py

And if you put the .py files in a directory that's not the CGI 
directory, you'll need to set Options ExecCGI for the dir.  I do it with 
.htaccess files, but you can also do it in the httpd.conf.
