If they have “pip”, you can use it to install CherryPy. It will install in your local directory, so you don’t need root access. If they don’t have “pip”, you may have to build your own local copy of Python, where you can install whatever you want. DreamHost, for one, requires that. They don’t support “pip”.

Be aware that most shared hosting accounts do not allow you to run long-term TCP server processes like a traditional CherryPy server. You may have to learn how to use FastCGI.
