Trouble Executing A Cgi Script From Ssi

[dcasal]

Hello everybody!

 

I'm having trouble executing a tiny Python CGI script on server68. Although the following works fine:

 

<!--#echo var="DATE_LOCAL" -->

 

This won't:

 

<!--#exec cgi="cgi-bin/thomastime2.cgi" -->

 

This is the script:

>#!/usr/bin/python

import cgi
import datetime

print "Content-type: text/plain\r\n\r\n", "hello"

birthday = datetime.date(1955, 4, 1)

today = datetime.date.today()

age = today - birthday

print age.days, "days ago"

 

The permissions are 0755 and it is definitely in cgi-bin. The error log I can see from cpanel says:

 

>[Thu Nov 10 12:18:08 2005] [error] [client 139.222.132.225] Premature end of script headers: /home/thomaspl/public_html/cgi-bin/thomastime2.cgi

 

I've gone through the usual checks for this kind of error as instructed by Google, but no joy :-(

 

Please please help?

I believe the problem stems from your use of the datetime module:

>import datetime

From what I've found on Google, the datetime module is a new module added in Python version 2.3. The last time I checked, my server (and I presume all other TCH servers) were running Python 2.2.3, so the datetime module would not be an available module for python scripts to use.

 

Hope this helps...

ARGH! That's such a pain!

 

I'm not even sure how to do that with the time module instead...

 

Do you know of some way I might be able to install just the datetime module in my home directory, or something?

 

So frustrating :-(
