It depends on how your web server hsa been set up, there are two basic
options:
1) All CGUI scripts go in a common dirdectory (usually cgi-bin) in which
case you
would name them as .py
2) You can store the CGI files with the corresponding html files in which
case
they are named .cgi to tell the web server to execute them as such.
Which method you use is determined by your web servers settings which could
have either or both enabled.
