CGI problem

Hello,
I'm new to Apache. I tried to call a Python cgi script and got the
following message:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, nlbsilva@yahoo.com and inform
them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done
that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error
log.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have python path in the script's 1st line and the script in the
cgi-bin folder, where the documentation says to put it.

my HTML code is: <form method=GET
action="http://localhost/cgi-bin/test3.cgi">

Thank you,
Norma.

What's in the server error log? Please let us know.

ScriptInterpreterSource registry
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/www/cgi-bin/"
AddHandler cgi-script .py

#!python
print "Content-Type: text/plain\n"
print "hello world"

This works fine - doesn't it? Assuming anything.py instead of .cgi.
If it doesn't work get netcat and play webserver with it.

C:\>nc -l -p 4000[ENTER]

Then click the button at your HTML-Document and post the output.

Well, if you try to play webserver with netcat (on Port 4000) it should
be <form method=GET action="http://localhost:4000/cgi-bin/test3.cgi">
