A simple Python CGI server?

[Dfenestr8]

Hi.

I'm just a hobbyist and I like mucking around with cgi scripts.

Here's the script I've been using......

>#! /usr/bin/python
>
>import BaseHTTPServer
>import CGIHTTPServer
>httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('',8000),
>				   CGIHTTPServer.CGIHTTPRequestHandler)
>httpd.serve_forever()


For some reason, I get these weird permission errors sometimes when I use
it ... such as:

"OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied"

Sometimes my scripts produce this error, sometimes they don't. Can anybody
explain this?

Also, can anyone direct me to a script on the web that might do the trick
a little more consistently?
