So (writing your post for you, here) you've written a CGI script in
Python.  Your script uses urllib2 to POST some data to a server, and
you're including the tracback from cgitb.

euromillions.us is trying to tell you that euromillions.us is broken
(see RFC 2616, section 10.5.1 '500 Internal Server Error').  Maybe you
tickled the bug in the software running on euromillons.us by POSTing
bad data?

The problem is highly unlikely to be the result of a bug in the Python
library.
