I can get the script to run the python script but all that happens is
that the black python box appears then disapears, the html that the
python scripts should generate is never output.
[...]
This is calling the pyc file of the python script. I dont understand why
if i call the py file itself all i get returned is the plain text of the
python file.

That's a server setting (Apache or whatever) - make sure it is configured
to *execute* the script.

The python script is:

#!/usr/local/bin/python
import cgi

def main():
print "Content-type: text/html\n"

I hope this is just the way you posted your message, but remember that in
Python indentation is important. The above code isn't valid. Once you are
sure that your script doesn't have syntax errors, add this lines on the
top to help debugging:

import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
