I'm not familiar with cheap-o cgi serving this way.

I suspect that the cgi interface is looking for response.py relative to the current working 
directory.

Windows CE has no concept of cwd, so that cannot work.

You'll have to look at the CGIHTTPServer source to be certain.

Oh heck, the source says it uses popen or os.fork, well I really don't expect either of 
those to work on windows CE either.

CGI uses self.translate_path which must be defined in SimpleHTTPRequestHandler

You might consider looking at the dibbler.py module that's included in the spambayes 
package.

Its a really simple way of serving up python code from a python based webserver.
