passing variables to python script

Hello again,
You guys might remember me from the "Apache problems" thread. And because this forum is the only one that actually helped me out after months of problems I was hoping you could help me with something related.

Now if you remember the final code that we made for creating an account on a SQUID proxy server that is what we will be dealing with. If not then here it is:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"

import os

def main():
#    username = "working123"
#    password = "working"
    os.system("htpasswd -b /etc/squid/passwd '%s' '%s'" % (username.replace("'", ""), password.replace("'", "")))
    return 0
if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Now the code works fine, the only problem is that it wors fine with stub values. I need user input, so that a user can input a desired username and a desired password and then those strings would be passed to the python script which would then fill in the data. Now I looked around on google and a few friends and we tried this script:
Code:
 <html>
  <form action="http://192.168.1.4:8000/cgi-bin/test.py" method="POST">

      Name:    <input type="text" name="username"><br>
      pass:   <input type="text" name="password"><br>
      <input type="submit">

  </form>
  </html>

Now it did not work. I found it quite difficult to find info on this agian. Lets see if you guys can go 2 for 2 Smilie

apache2ctl(8)						      System Manager's Manual						     apache2ctl(8)

NAME
apache2ctl - Apache HTTP server control interface SYNOPSIS
When acting in SysV init mode, apache2ctl takes simple, one-word commands, defined below. apachectl command apache2ctl command When acting in pass-through mode, apache2ctl can take all the arguments available for the httpd binary. apachectl [httpd-argument] apache2ctl [httpd-argument] DESCRIPTION
apache2ctl is a front end to the Apache HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to help the administrator control the functioning of the Apache apache2 daemon. NOTE: The default Debian configuration requires the environment variables APACHE_RUN_USER, APACHE_RUN_GROUP, and APACHE_PID_FILE to be set in /etc/apache2/envvars. The apache2ctl script returns a 0 exit value on success, and >0 if an error occurs. For more details, view the comments in the script. OPTIONS
The command can be any one or more of the following options: start Start the Apache daemon. Gives an error if it is already running. stop Stops the Apache daemon. restart Restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGHUP. If the daemon is not running, it is started. This command automatically checks the configuration files via configtest before initiating the restart to to catch the most obvious errors. However, it is still possible for the daemon to die because of problems with the configuration. fullstatus Displays a full status report from mod_status. For this to work, you need to have mod_status enabled on your server and a text-based browser such as lynx available on your system. The URL used to access the status report can be set by setting the APACHE_STATUSURL variable in /etc/apache2/envvars. status Displays a brief status report. Similar to the fullstatus option, except that the list of requests currently being served is omitted. graceful Gracefully restarts the Apache daemon by sending it a SIGUSR1. If the daemon is not running, it is started. This differs from a normal restart in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. This means that if used in a log rotation script, a substantial delay may be necessary to ensure that the old log files are closed before processing them. This command automatically checks the configuration files via apache2ctl configtest before initiating the restart to to catch the most obvious errors. However, it is still possible for the daemon to die because of problems with the configuration. graceful-stop Gracefully stops the Apache httpd daemon. This differs from a normal stop in that currently open connections are not aborted. A side effect is that old log files will not be closed immediately. configtest Run a configuration file syntax test. It parses the configuration files and either reports Syntax Ok or information about the particular syntax error. This test does not catch all errors. help Displays a short help message. The following option was available in earlier versions but has been removed. startssl To start httpd with SSL support, you should edit your configuration file to include the relevant directives and then use the normal apache2ctl start. ENVIRONMENT
The behaviour of apache2ctl can be influenced with these environment variables: APACHE_HTTPD, APACHE_LYNX, APACHE_STATUSURL, APACHE_ULIMIT_MAX_FILES, APACHE_RUN_DIR, APACHE_LOCK_DIR, APACHE_RUN_USER, APACHE_ARGUMENTS, APACHE_ENVVARS. See the comments in the script for details. These variables (except APACHE_ENVVARS) can be set in /etc/apache2/envvars. SEE ALSO
