A problem in running web2y on shared hosts is that most of them run
CentOS and CentOS ships with Python 2.4. Python 2.4 misses some
modules that are required by web2py and you need root access to
install them.
Another solution is using virtualenv. I seems it is possible to
download and run virtualenv without being root and it is possible to
use it to easy_intall the missing 2.4 modules thanks to a module
called distribute.
I wrote a simple script that does this automatically.
Please help me test it?
If you have an account on a cheap shared web-hosting provider that
only provides Python 2.4 just do the following:
wget http://web2py.googlecode.com/hg/scripts/setup-virtualenv-web2py.sh
chmod +x setup-virtualenv-web2py.sh
./setup-virtualenv-web2py.sh
It should download web2py, virtualenv, create the environment you need
and start web2py on localhost.

But Massimo, cant one just compile and install python 2.5 or 2.6 on it rather than relying on virtual env. I had once tried installing pylons on Dreamhost and had to do the same. It was a shared host as well.

Not if it is jailed shell. DreamHost has full shell.

Thanks, Massimo. It partially worked.

grrr. Installing pysqlite requires gcc, installing gcc requires root.
