You really need to add some print-type diagnostics to your script 
temporarily, just to see what you are actually getting for parameters. 
For example, put this:

print "Content-type: text/plain\n"

near the top so you can get a source printout, then add

print `page`

just before you attempt your open() call so you can see what the exact 
Python representation of page is. Do similarly for other problems in 
your code. Don't leave such an "instrumented" copy of your CGI script on 
your site for very long and you should be safe.

Also, consider using the built-in cgi traceback feature in your scripts, 
at least while you are debugging them (though you probably want to 
remove the traceback after you are "in production").
