Looks like you are mixing CGI? script into you python script improperly.
It's hard to tell, though, because you have not posted any of the code.
Please read "REPLY GUIDELINES" to learn how to use CODE tags and give a snippet to go on. Thanks for joining the Python Forum on TheScripts.com.

The code, but no CODE tags...
I don't know the cgi interface, but I can tell you that your tripple quotes may be out of place:

print """Content-type: text/html

Now python wont try to execute "<form action="hockey5.py">" and throw an error at you.
