It looks like you're running Windows? You probably need some extra 
steps: installing Python, then changing that #! line in the script.

Give this document a reading. It should walk you through setting up your 
Apache-on-Windows so that it can run that CGI script.

http://www.imladris.com/Scripts/PythonForWindows.html

For a much shorter and simpler test case, try installing this under 
/cgi/bin, maybe name it "test.cgi" and see if you can get it to run with 
those directions.

#!/bin/env python
print "Status: 200 OK"
print "Content-type: text/plain"
print "It works!"

If you can get that to print "It works" to your browser, then you should 
have CGI and Python working well enough to proceed with proxy.cgi
