What do I look for in a shared Python host?
walterbyrd
- If I want to use Django, I need either FastCGI or Apache
2.X/mod_python 3.x
- if I want to use TurboGears, I need Python 2.4: not 2.3 and not 2.5
- I have just learned that some hosters have T&Cs that forbid long
running processes. I am not sure exactly what that means. Except I
understand it can be a problem if using Cherrypy/TurboGears
- I have read that mod_python before 3.x can be difficult
What other "gotchas" would I look for?

The best host for Python (including Django and Turbogears), try
webfaction. They used to be known as Python-hosting.com and offer great
support for Python.

I would absolutely second rimuhosting. We have a bunch of VPS' and
dedicated boxes there, and they've been great. As Dimitri suggests,
you can get a $20/mo VPS that would do straightforward web hosting
without a problem (certainly what you could get out of a shared
account at most service levels).
