cPanel Python/Django support

[Scot Hacker]

For the past couple of years, cPanel (the most widely deployed hosting control panel system) has been taking pulse on user demand for native Django support (similar to their Rails installer). Just saw this note from cPanel devs and thought some folks here might be interested. This is a great opportunity to help shape the future of what could become one of the most widely available routes to Django deployment on commodity hosting.

Unfortunately to make it more useful to deploy django, some hosting providers should stop providing CentOS with Python 2.4. I just got another server with this flavour and I had to install my own version of Python.

Come on, it's 2012!!!

Yep, agreed.  I'm confident they will be bundling an updated Python when/if this feature is released.
