python file downloaded instead of running

mabusafiah

I created a sample python file hello.py, i added sample code print("Hello, world!")
but when i opened the file from the URL : [XXXX].serv00.net/hello.py then the file downloaded instead of showing the content 'Hello, world'

Any suggestion please?

To run the Python script the easier way is to create a Python type website and create public_python/passenger_wsgi.py file with your code, for example:

def application(environ, start_response):
    start_response("200 OK", []);
    return "Hello, world!"

The second option is to run your own CGI application: https://docs.serv00.com/CGI/ with that it is possible to serve hello.py like yours.
