Error in python script running in xampp windows

Question

I am new to PYTHON and usually code on PHP. This is the first script I am trying to run on Windows XAMPP. I enabled addhandler for .py and trying to run the following script:

#!C:\Python33\python.exe
# enable debugging
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
print ("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print ("Hello World!")

and I am getting the following error while running the code:

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message: malformed header from script 'test.py': Bad header: Hello World!

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Try not to re-invent the wheel - I suggest you use a framework instead of doing things by hand. flask is a great lightweight framework to start with. — Burhan Khalid

You should separate headers from body printing additional newline:

#!C:\Python33\python.exe
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print() # <----------- addtional newlnie for header/body separation.
print("Hello World!")

For anyone who's still getting an error, try replacing print() by print("\r\n") in the following way:

print("Content-Type: text/html;charset=utf-8")
print("\r\n")
print("Hello World!")

This should work!
