How to do simple http redirect using Python?

Question

How to do simple http redirect using Python? without using meta.

UPDATE:

I am using Python 2.7.1 as a CGI from within the cgi-bin directory of Apache.

for http redirect you should output header with content location: newUrl to the client. To send headers, use appropriate function on your framework. — AbiusX

To redirect using your current setup (CGI apache):

print("Location:http://newurl.com/foobar")
print # to end the CGI response headers.
