带有python文件的AJAX请求的HTML：服务器端未执行

Question

I want to deliver HTML files with AJAX requests (to a server-side scripting language) on a RedHat server where I don't have root access. I can't install HTTP server like Apache or Nginx and can't install PHP too.
So I thought using Python already included in the RedHat distribution.

Here is the HTML (+ jQuery) code :

<script>
function start_ajax_request(){
    $.get("request.py", function(data,status){
        alert(status);
        console.log(data);
    });
}

$(document).ready(function(){
    start_ajax_request();
});
</script>

1 - I used the built-in HTTP server ( python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080 ), but the Python code isn't executed, the source code of the py file is returned by the AJAX request :

# -*-coding:utf-8 -*

import json
print json.dumps({"a": 15, "b": 13, "c": 17})

2 - I made some tests with Bottle . It doesn't seem the perfect tool to deliver HTML files (I don't need the framework thing).
When I launch the page in the brower, the AJAX request returns the source code of the py file too.

3 - I tried to use Waitress . It seemed more adapted to my needs, but I can't make it works.

What do I need to do to get the python file executed when an AJAX request is made ?
Is this a HTTP server problem or my code is not correct ?

I want to keep things simple and not invasive. I know practically nothing about Python.

I don't know very well SimpleHTTPServer, i use cherrypy to serve web pages; anyway: is request.py executable? First lines of python are like:

#!/usr/bin/env python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-

print "Content-type: text/html\r\n\r\n"
