Hi folks...

I wanted to know witch Python frameworks are there installed, and witch one should I use... can someone help me ?

Plus I wanted to know if I could use Python as I use PHP, for an example:

#index.php
echo '<html><head><title>TITLE OF MY PAGE</title></head><body><b>Some Text in bold</b></body></html>';

#index.py
print '<html><head><title>TITLE OF MY PAGE</title></head><body><b>Some Text in bold</b></body></html>'

This may sound stupid because I'm a beguiner... but is this possible ?

Thanks for all the help

Hi,

Well, we do support python. Many customers have python scripts running on their accounts. However, you won't be able to use python the way you use php scripts. The reason is simple - we have python running as CGI, which means you will only be able to use python scripts inside the cgi-bin folder, when the correct permissions and interpretor are applied.

If you have troubles making a python script to run, please consult with our support team, they will be more than happy to assist you.

Make sure you only run python scripts under the cgi-bin folder.

Tom,

How does one contact the support team to get a simple answer about Python? It seems that the only way is to sign up for Professional Services. That is ridiculous. There is no email or phone number. I can understand that you dont want people calling about every stupid question but ...

Anyhow, is mod_python installed?

Thanks.

Mod_python is installed by default on our servers and you should be able to use it. If you want to ask a question you can do that here or post a ticket with your inquiry from your Customer's Area -> Get Support -> Get Support /helpdesk/.

Hi,

Is there any possible way to install the "Django" python framework? And possible get SSH access on a hosting account other than VPS or dedicated hosting?

Thanks,
Ryan.

I am afrid not, as Django is quite the ersource demanding script and will not be very suitable for a shared hsting server.

Hello,

I am afraid that we do not have Python tutorials that we can offer you to read. You can, however, check on the documentation at http://www.python.org/ in order to receive more information on how to use it.
