I have a hello world script written in python called hello.py. I am using apache on a windows machine, and I'd like the script to run automatically, whenever I enter something like http://localhost/
Can someone please tell me how to do this ?
PS: If I point to the script directly from the browser, it displays properly.
hello.py:
#! c:\Python27\python.exe
print "Content-Type: text/html\n\n"
print 'Heya, world..yaba daba doo!'

It sounds like you want your Python script to be the index document?
If your setup already works when you do something like http://localhost/hello.py I would suggest renaming it to
index.py(common convention to call an index document "index.something") and then editing your Apache configuration to include index.py intheDirectoryIndexfilenames list.
