htaccess/rewrite engine/default page

I am using Python 2.6.6 on mint 10. I just installed django from
synaptic. This is not a django-specific question, but I am hopeful
that the answer will be helpful to other noobs.

Given that I have the following python script installed on my
machine:
myFooLoader.py

And I point my browser to
http://localhost/cgi-bin/path/to/foo/myFooLoader.py
to execute myFooLoader.py

Now I want configure for a default page so I can point my browser to
just
http://localhost/cgi-bin/path/to/foo
and execute myFooLoader.py - I.E. 'myFooLoader.py' is recognized as
the default page.

This entails using an .htaccess file in the same directory as the
script with 'rewriteengine on' (I don't need to use mod_python) at
this time.

I could use some examples on how to set up .htaccess to enable this.
I haven't used .htaccess since apache 1.~
URLs to relevant discussions are welcome.

thanks
