[python] How do I run a Python script on my web server?

I've just started learning Python, and I'm pretty lost right now. I want to run my script on my server that is hosted through hosting24.com. Their FAQ says they support Python, but I have no clue where to put my script for it to run.

There is a folder called cgi-bin in my root, I'm guessing that is where I put my script? Can someone explain to me how this works?

This question is related to python webserver cgi-bin

The answer is

Very simply, you can rename your Python script to "pythonscript.cgi". Post that in your cgi-bin directory, add the appropriate permissions and browse to it.

This is a great link you can start with.

Here's another good one.

Hope that helps.
