Yes you just print it out in a CGI script and the web server arranges for it
to get sent to the browser. What you can't do is execute that script and have
its output appear in a different browser window than the original script's
output (at least not without resorting to Javascript and only working
on some browsers).

You can just output a HTML link which causes a new CGI script to execute
which either is Script2.py or executes Script2.py. That way the user
can click the link to get the output of the script.
