Python CGI error

I have this html:

<html>
<body>
<form action='super.py'>
<input type=text name=person value="New User" size = 15>
<input type=submit></form>
</body>
</html>

& this python script:

<html>
<body>
<form action='super.py'>
<input type=text name=person value="New User" size = 15>
<input type=submit></form>
</body>
</html>
matio@matio-desktop:~$ cat /var/www/py/super.py 
#!/usr/bin/env python

import cgi

rehtml = '''Content-Type: text/html\n
<html><body>
Your name is %s
</body>
</html>
'''
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
who = form['person'].value
print reshtml % (who)

when i click submit:

As a side note, "super" is a reserved keyword in Python already, and you named your script that. It shouldn't cause this problem at all but in the future it might raise some sort of issue if you expand on this.

As for the current situation, what was the value you typed into the textbox in the HTML form? Was it "hello"?
