Yes, it should work fine. Do the things you'd do if it were Perl source:
when you say "it runs from the command line OK", do you mean invocation of
/home/softouch/public_html/cgi-bin/scratch/hello.py gives sensible results?
Does your Web server recognize that .py is a CGI extension? What are the
permissions on /home/softouch/public_html/cgi-bin/scratch/hello.py?
Might your server have an issue with "Content-Type" vs. "Content-type"?
