      Looks like you are mixing CGI? script into you python script improperly.
      It's hard to tell, though, because you have not posted any of the code.
      Please read "REPLY GUIDELINES" to learn how to use CODE tags and give a snippet to go on. Thanks for joining the Python Forum on TheScripts.com.

          sorry about that.
          here's the code
          thanks.


          Code:
          # A program that will predict Hockey scores
import cgi
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
import random

print """Content-type: text/html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<title> Predicting Hockey Scores </title>
</head><body>
"""
	<form action="hockey5.py">
	
	    <p> Enter the first team's name: 
	    	<input type="text" name="team1" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the second team's name:
	     	<input type="text" name="team2" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the maximum score value: 
	     	<input type="text" name="maximum" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the minimum score value:
	    	<input type="text" name="minimum" />
	    </p>
	    <p>
		<input type="submit" value="calculate" />
	    </p>
	</form>


if form["maximum"].value == form["minimum"].value:
    print "<p>The scores you have entered are the same values, please refresh the page and try again </p>"

minimum = int(form["minimum"].value)
maximum = int(form["maximum"].value)

score1 = random.randiant(minimum, maximum)
score2 = random.randint(minimum, maximum)

while score1 == score2:
    score1 = random.randint(minimum, maximum)
    score2 = random.randint(minimum, maximum)
    
print "<p>The final score will be: " + form["team1"].value + "(" + str(score1) +")   " + form["team2"].value + "(" + str(score2) + ")</p>"
print """
</body>
</html>
"""

# It will then print out the final result
print "The final score will be: " + team1 + "(" + str(score1) +")   " + team2 + "(" + str(score2) + ")"

              The code, but no CODE tags...
              I don't know the cgi interface, but I can tell you that your tripple quotes may be out of place:
              Code:
              print """Content-type: text/html
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
<html><head>
<title> Predicting Hockey Scores </title>
</head><body>

	<form action="hockey5.py">
	
	    <p> Enter the first team's name: 
	    	<input type="text" name="team1" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the second team's name:
	     	<input type="text" name="team2" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the maximum score value: 
	     	<input type="text" name="maximum" />
	    </p>
	    <p> Enter the minimum score value:
	    	<input type="text" name="minimum" />
	    </p>
	    <p>
		<input type="submit" value="calculate" />
	    </p>
	</form>
"""
              Now python wont try to execute "<form action="hockey5 .py">" and throw an error at you.
