This is a mime-type problem -- your browser grabs the mime type from
Apache (who probably says it's a python file) and figures you want to
download it.

Try adding this to your .htaccess file (or httpd.conf):

AddType text/html py

If that doesn't work, look around other pages for how to set the mime
type for your Apache version.

Good luck,
Justin
