I am trying to execute python script in apache2 server but apache2 server downloads python file instead of executing it. I am sending request to server using xmlhttprequest object in javascript I have given url as filename(test.py) in xmlhttprequest object. Added handler for cgi and mod_python in apache config file but it did not work

#!/usr/bin/python
import cgi
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()
from mod_python import apache
print "hello world"

html code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
    function runJS() {
      var code = Blockly.C.workspaceToCode(Code.workspace);
      var xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
      xmlhttp.open("POST","/cgi-bin/process.py",false);
      xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
      xmlhttp.send("code=" + encodeURIComponent(code));
      alert(xmlhttp.responseText);
     }
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <button onclick="runJS()">click</button>
</body>
</html>

My apache config file for mod_python

<Directory /var/www/html/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler mod_python.publisher | .py
    PythonDebug On
</Directory>

for cgi

ScriptAlias "/cgi-bin/" "/var/www/html/cgi-bin/"
<Directory /var/www/html/cgi-bin>
    Options ExecCGI Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
    AddHandler cgi-script .py
</Directory>

or suggest any alternate way to execute python script in webserver
