500 Server Error for Python in ASP Script

Question

The following asp script is giving me the error: "HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error"

<%@ Language = Python%>
<%
def main():
    Response.Write("My first ASP script!")
main()
%>

when I run it on IIS 7.5 Windows 7 (64 bit). In the error log it simply mentions an ASP_0147 error.

I have installed Python 3.2 and Active Python 3.2.2.3 on the server and registered Python via: pyscript.py

I have enabled 32-bit applications for the server. I have also installed Python for Windows to see if that would help.

Can you suggest how I might fix this?

UPDATE:

I have managed to get this working now for python3 but I have to register with --debug, as follows:

C:\Python32\Lib\site-packages\win32comext\axscript\client>c:\Python32\python.exe
 pyscript.py --debug
Requesting elevation and retrying...
Registered: Python (for debugging)

Why will it only work in debug mode? Is it safe to run in this mode?

Here's the trace when debug is enabled:

May not be the appropriate solution, in the past I've had this problem.
The recent versions of activepython seems broken for active scripting.
I was able just the version 2.5.6.10.
If the version is not important, you could try that older version.
