[Pythonmac-SIG] toxic appscript/python?

[tom wible]

i have a cgi called from a webpage that seems to break my webserver's file access:

an empty file fails:

2008-09-14 11:14:33: (mod_cgi.c.998) CGI failed: Exec format error 
/DVR/webAccess/cgi-bin/editrecitem.sh

but this <a href='http://wibles.webhop.net/toms/DVHS/webAccess/cgi-bin/editRec.sh'>
python/appscript</a>

makes itself invisible to my server(lighttpd):

2008-09-14 13:22:29: (mod_cgi.c.998) CGI failed: No such file or directory 
/DVR/webAccess/cgi-bin/editrecitem.sh

a simple #!/usr/local/bin/python; print "hello, world!" works as expected...

weird...
