AddHandler directive for Python?

[meithan]

Hi. This afternoon my webpage -which uses Python scripts- started sending 403 Forbidden errors. I saw that this afternoon the supported Apache directives were changed. Naturally, to have Apache execute my Python scripts, the .htaccess in my scripts dir reads "AddHandler cgi-script .py".

Does this mean Python scripts are no longer supported in Free Hosting? Or do I have to change something else to have it working again?

Thanks!

Python isn't (or rather shouldn't) be supported on free hosting.

Yeah, I was told that some time in the past, but the staff said I was free to try to use it under my own risk.

Still, I'm waiting for confirmation that there's no action I can do to get it working again, so that Python is "officially not supported" now.

Next question would be: does the Premium service support Python?

Currently the only CGI scripting language - which is officially supported on x10hosting's free-hosting accounts - is PHP

the "officially of what is supported" list is at --> [ https://x10hosting.com/support/account/plans-upgrades-explained ]

Thanks for the info, bdistler. I see that Premium accounts are the ones with "CGI" as included feature, which I assume is where Python support is. So I'd have to upgrade to that to get my website working again, right?

Yes. If at any time you see Python working on Free Hosting user accounts without an accompanying announcement, you should assume that it's a temporary configuration error that will soon be fixed. (Sometimes something like that can go unnoticed until someone uses it to do something bad.)
