As per http://docs.pycsw.org/en/stable/installation.html#running-on-windows ,
the example assumes you have Python in \Python27\python .  The drive letter
would be required if you are running if Python and your Python CGI script are
on different paths.  Also note the -u flag for Windows environments
(https://docs.python.org/3.3/using/cmdline.html#cmdoption-u)

Having said this, have you considered running Python on mod_wsgi instead
of CGI?  Many/most Python apps benefit from using mod_wsgi as a long
running process for performance.

Hope this helps.
