Is the apache web server actually running during this process. You know you have to manually turn it on. — sshashank124

Apache thinks your python file is a file to be served, and not a script to run. You need to configure apache to tell it how to treat the python files. There are a number of ways of doing this.

See here Configure Apache to use Python just like CGI PHP and http://docs.python.org/2/howto/webservers.html

Essentially you have to configure an extension that allows apache to run python scripts. mod_python and mod_wsgi are two examples (you only need one).
