There are several things that must work for you to be able to show an
image.

1.	You need to create a python script ;-) At
http://starship.python.net/crew/davem/cgifaq/faqw.cgi?req=show&file=faq02.010.htp
you can see how it's done...

2.	You need to make the script executable!
3.	<img src="myscript.py">


If I have to guess then your problem is probably the Content-Type!
