From the last update of the installation instructions:

| For IIS the configuration for running python scripts is located
| under 'Home directory-> Configuration' where an "-u" is also needed.

The flag tells the python interpreter to do two things:
	- run the script as unbuffered
	- do not change line endings 

The first might change the behaviour of your Webserver.
Apard from that I do not know what the problem of running python
scripts with "Personal Webserver" could be.  Can you run other scripts?
You might want to ask in python and IIS related newsgroups or
mailinglists if somebody encounters similiar differences.
