Your python script is a CGI script and it needs to run under a web
server.
There is a simple CGI server in the Python library that you can use
for
testing...

The comments seem to be wrong, assuming the html
in temp ids the same as is in the html file that calls this?
> # Get data from field 'email'

> e.close()
> print 'Done'
Bob has already pointed out the bug here...
