403 error for python webpage

[Daniel]

I created a page with a ".py" extension but the browser does not like
it.
Here is what I did: I edited httpd.conf file and added the line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .py
Then I stopped and restarted apache. Next I created a hello world file
as on this page:
http://deron.meranda.us/python/webserving/helloworld.html
I stored the file in htdocs and then went to the corresponding
http://127.0.0.1/python/testhw.py in my browser. But the browser gives
a 403 error.
I am running from internet explorer on windows xp.
