Python and Apache

["Craig Herring" <cherring nbbc edu>]

	I am a newbie to Python and am trying to run Python through Apache.  I keep getting 500 server errors from Apache.  Does anyone have some tips on getting this combination working together.  I notice in Apache2 there is a separate config file for Python.  I have tried multiple combinations.  I have also found a couple web sites with tutorials.  Here is some if the errors from my apache log file:
