Well, after testing and testing and trying again and again, I got it to
work!  haha... simple errors always get ya. ;-)

First problem, I wasn't calling the function in my url.
http://localhost/python/blah.py/main
That got the file to load, but mozilla was asking me to save the file
b.c it didn't know how to handle the file.

Second problem, I forgot to add:
req.content_type = "text/html"
req.send_http_header()

Well, hope that helps anyone else in the future.
Thanks.
