This looks very strange to me.  First, the error message you have
copied is clearly screwed - the "in ? the Python script" is not
something Python would spit out.

Further, line 25 of cgi.py, on my machine at least, is in the
docstrings - ie, there is no code anywhere near that line.  Finally,
it appears the problem is "AttributeError: parse", but "parse" does
not appear as an attribute name in cgi.py at all.

The best resource for CGI that I know is
http://starship.python.net/crew/aaron_watters/ - see if that helps...
