I assume that you have a UserDir directive elsewhere in your
configuration; otherwise, what you've written probably won't be enough.
See this guide for the full details:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/public_html.html

I typically find that using the ScriptAlias directive does what I want,
although I don't work with user directories myself. Here's an example:

ScriptAlias /cgi/ "/home/paul/some_directory/"

I imagine that the ScriptAliasMatch directive would also be able to do
the home directory matching that you are doing in your configuration
file. See the documentation for both directives here:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_alias.html#scriptalias

Apart from using ScriptAlias, I don't usually do anything more than
check the ownership/permissions on the CGI directory and the script.
Naturally, the PYTHONPATH (or sys.path) needs to be configured to find
non-installed modules and packages, but such things are beyond this
particular problem.
