This is only a guess but...

The permissions on koukos.py have to be exactly right.
Obviously if they are too restrictive Apache won't be
able to read or execute it.  But they can't be to open 
either -- in particular the file must have execute
permission and must not have write permission for either
group or others (write for user only).

If the permissions are too open, Apache will try to write 
an error message to suexec.log.  I suspect that your 
permissions (or file owner) is wrong on your suexec.log 
file (or containing directory) and that is the cause of 
the "could not open log file " message.

So I think you have too problems: wrong permissions on
koukos.py and wrong owner or permissions on suexec.log.

For reference this is working here:
 -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 314 Jun  6 12:19 /var/log/httpd/suexec.log

 -rwxr-xr-x 1 me me 1113 Jun  5 14:40 koukos.py

You'll need to adjust things for your particular Apache 
environment.

As I said, this is only a guess.  Hope it helps.
