Python CGI可执行脚本下载/显示脚本代码

Question

A script I wrote long ago (getWords.py) used to be executable at my localhost ( http://local.example.com/getWords.py?query-string )

My python script starts like this :

#!/usr/bin/env python
# chmod 755 getWords.py

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

import os, sys, time, cgi, cgitb, re
import json, hashlib, gzip, urllib, urllib2
cgitb.enable()

I have enabled ExecCGI

cat /etc/apache2/sites-available/example

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName local.example.com
    DocumentRoot /home/username/Dropbox/vhosts/example/
    <Directory /home/username/Dropbox/vhosts/example>
        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews +ExecCGI
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
    </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.example.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.example.log combined
</VirtualHost>

But still the script force downloads (FireFox) or shows the script code (Chrome).

Any idea what is wrong on my localhost ?

$ apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.12 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   Feb  4 2015 14:21:10
$ python -V
Python 2.7.3

On my host (Webfaction), its running at http://example.com/getWords.py?query-string
