Sorry, I just read this message. I did not the beginning of this thread. 
Jon, why don't you register
Python as an ActiveX scripting language? You can download and install 
pywin32 extensions:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/

then you can run this script:

site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client\pyscript.py

This will register Python as an ActiveX scripting language.
Then you can create an ASP page like this (index.asp):

<%@ Language=Python %>
<%
lst = [0,1,2,3]
Response.write(str(lst))
%>

I think it is better (and faster) to use Python as an ActiveX scripting 
language then to use it as a CGI program.
Best,

   G
