Prevent apache from running python script

Question

I wanted to host a .py file on my website, for download, but instead Apache runs it as a CGI script.

If I don't have executable flag on it, I get an error 500.

Is there any way to disable running of this file, maybe with htaccess? I don't have full control over the machine, so can't alter apache config.

Derp, found it

Solution is to put this in a .htaccess where I want to block it:

RemoveHandler .cgi .php .php3 .php4 .php5 .phtml .pl .py .pyc .pyo
