Apache & Python 500 Error

[Christian]

Hello,

i have an apache 1.3 server with python on debian. Python works fine but 
  the scripts wont´t work.

This easy script i want to do on apache:

#!/usr/bin/python
import os
os.getcwd()

in apache config i have done this:

<Directory /var/www/python>
     AddHandler python-program .py
     PythonHandler python
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     #PythonDebug On
</Directory>

the script is in this directory /var/www/python

but i get an 500 error everytime, with "every" script - why that - i´m 
newbie - sorry for that :)

greetings from germany to newsgroup
