I'm just not cut out for web programming, I guess :)

Ok, I've tinkered with this thing for a while, and I keep fixing little 
problems, but I always get a 500 Internal Server error when I go to this 
site:

I don't necessarily even want help just yet, I'd like to figure it out 
myself, but can someone at least tell me why I'm not getting helpful 
feedback from the cgitb module? Am I using it wrong? The webpage just 
displays the internal server error.

Thanks.

import cryptogen
import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

quote_file = open('quotes.txt')
quote = quote_file.readline().strip()
quote_file.close()

print '''content-type: text/html

quote = cryptogen.convert_quote(quote)
for word in quote[0].split(' '):

     print '<input type="text" name="%s" size="%d">' % (word, word_len)

print '<input type="submit" value="Submit"></form></body></html>'
