pyscript.py registers Python as an Active Scripting agent -- that's a 
*server-side* language. You'd need to run IIS and use:

<% LANGUAGE = Python %>

Then, if you access the pages *through the web server* you should be able to 
use python scripts in the pages.

See also http://starship.python.net/crew/pirx/asp/py_asp.html for a Python/ASP 
demo.
