Lots of possibilities, though I can't think of any relating to Python.  
So I didn't try to read your source file.

Is the location of this script acceptable to your web host?  Some hosts
deliberately restrict scripts to be in certain places (like /cgi-bin) in
order to thwart a certain type of cracker.

Next question, is the python installation actually at the place where
your shebang points?
