I have no idea what causes an internal server error.  It's up to you to 
get the output of the expression to some location you can examine. 
Easiest way is to run those 3 lines directly on the server, not in the 
cgi environment.

But if you don't have any debugging tools, then STOP right now and build 
some.  Use logging, or redirect print, or do something that the server 
folks provide as debugging aids.  But just blindly guessing is 
ludicrous.  So also is throwing out clues by using a bare except.

Assigning that string to host makes no sense at all.  And neither does 
putting it in the except clause.  You want to get that string to YOUR 
eyes, not to the server who might get an internal server error.
