No need to set it up, if you're talking CGI scripts. The default Red Hat
setup in 5.1 will automatically execute any scripts under the
/home/httpd/cgi-bin directory (well, as long as they have their execute
bits set). Just use your browser to say something like
http://localhost/cgi-bin/foo.py to actually run it.
There is a way to embed the Python interpreter into Apache, but I haven't
gotten to that level yet.
