You have to include the #!\/usr\/bin\/python<\/code> line on *nix systems to tell the shell how to interpret this script and where your interpreter is in the system. This is called the shebang line.<\/p>\n

The chmod 755 hello.py<\/code> command is a unix shell command to change the permissionson of the file and make it executable. Doing this you can run the script without having to do python hello.py<\/code> but instead .\/hello.py<\/code> . <\/p>\n

From my understanding you are a windows user. In this case, you don’t have to do all of this. Just save the file as hello.py<\/code> and that’s it.<\/p>\n

This post on tutorialspoint.com implies that you already have an HTTP server running that supports cgi and has a default web directory of \/var\/www\/<\/code><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
