Mmmmm no, that didn't do it.  The script now is:

    #! /usr/bin/env python

    print 'Status: 302 Found'
    print 'Location: http://www.google.com\n'

but still nothing happens, I get the same blank page.
Since the sscript is so simple, maybe it is a matter of server
configuration?  Is that possible?
