Python httpd permission denied

[Mark Knoop]

I am running a python script as Apache CGI in 
~/www/sitename/python/index.py. All was working fine in F7 and F8 until 
selinux-policy-3.0.8-58 arrived in updates. I've only now had time to 
look at this and am not sure what the problem might be.

Apache error log reads:
[error] [client 127.0.0.1] python: can't open file 
'/home/user/www/sitename/python/index.py': [Errno 13] Permission denied

/var/log/messages:
setroubleshoot: #012    SELinux is preventing the python from using 
potentially mislabeled files <Unknown> (user_home_dir_t).#012     For 
complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 
3506ffc2-aeb9-493c-b2f1-f579479c7ed5

The script is labelled user_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t, I've also 
tried httpd_sys_script_exec_t but get the same error.

Labelling as httpd_unconfined_script_exec_t DOES work, as do other 
(non-CGI) pages. There don't seem to be any changes in the changelogs 
for -57 and -58 which would affect this... any ideas?
