Ha! There's a naming confusion between the imported cgi module and your main program. Rename it to something else and all should be well (or at least better ;-)
I suspected that too, Steve, but why would it be showing the library cgi.py in the traceback if he had a local one with the same name? Weird. (Unless, as I wondered in my redundant reply, the traceback he posted wasn't the real traceback...)
It *is* a little puzzling.
I suspect that the problem might have been due to repeated imports or some such. But I don't know. Only Ali can tell us how he got that traceback. I wondered whether it could have been an IDE, but neither IDLE nor PythonWin exhibit such strangeness. Very odd. Ali?
