On inserting the line ...

print "<p> + "sys.version + "</p>"

required slight correction

print "<p>" + sys.version + "</p>"

and the following script and its output are below :-
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import cgi
import psycopg2

print "Content-type:text/html\r\n\r\n"
print '<html>'
print '<head>'
print '<title>Hello Word - First CGI Program</title>'
print '</head>'
print '<body>'
print '<h2>Hello Word! This is my first CGI program</h2>'
print "<p>"+ sys.version + "</p>"
print 'First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>'
print '</body>'
print '</html>'

---------------------------------------------------
