Is the Python interpreter available on free accounts? What about paid accounts? I've been working on some cgi web apps on my private server at home but it's getting to be a P.I.T.A. to administer apache and all that entails.

I've tried:
/usr/local/bin/python
and
/usr/bin/python

Submit a trouble ticket. It may be that some servers have Python and others don't.

This board has a nice search feature: Python (http://forums.hostrocket.com/search.php?s=&action=showresults&searchid=3276&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending)

"This board has a nice search feature: Python"

Unfortunately the search feature doesn't help answer this question at all. And since I was thinking about adding some Python stuff in the near future I'm also interested in whether this is an option or not. It sounds like two years ago the best strategy was to send in a trouble ticket. Is that still best? Is anyone here running Python based webpages?

Good idea, I'll submit a trouble ticket. The more the better.

The most I believe they'd have to do is recompile Apache with mod_python and restart httpd.

I'm running(actually still building) some Python webpages & apps.

I only have a free account right now but I would definately upgrade to a paying account if they add Python support.
