Description CBM 2013-05-28 19:02:04 UTC 
At the moment, the labs setup will execute .php and .py files in the user's public_html directory, but not .cgi files. 

There seems to be no security advantage to this, because a file named .py can be any kind of executable file, and the webserver will still execute it. 

For those who program in other languages, a neutral extension such as .cgi would be preferable to .py .
