That's because the Python code uses the PATH_INFO CGI environment
variable to parse out the request, which Microsoft inexplicably
considers a security risk:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q184320/

The above URL, I think, describes a workaround. If MS didn't publish
broken operating systems, of course, PATH_INFO wouldn't be the
security risk they seem to think it is.
