I want to start learning Python - and I'm having trouble getting scripts to load up in a browser (using Wamp). So far I've tried the following:

1: add the following lines to httpd.conf:

AddHandler cgi-script .py
Options ExecCGI

I navigate to

localhost/path/to/script/myscript.py
  • but get an Internal Server error.

2: downloaded mod_wsgi-win32-ap22py26-3.0.so - renamed to mod_wsgi (running Wamp with Apache 2.2) added the following lines to httpd.conf

AddHandler mod_wsgi .py
WSGIScriptAlias /wsgi/ "path/to/my/pythonscripts/folder/"

but when I navigate to the script - it renders the script in it's entirety i.e.

#!c:/Python26/python.exe -u
print "hello world"

I managed to get CherryPy working, but ideally I want to learn the language in a relatively raw context before digging into a framework. Can anyone give me some pointers?
