How to execute Python files?

[pimpaow23]

Hi there, I came across this free web hosting provider as I was looking for a provider that support Python files. I have Python scripts that I created on my computer that I was wondering how I can use on this web hosting provider? I uploaded a simple hello world script to the cgi-bin folder and tried to load the link to the page but it said page 404 not found, even though it shows in my file directory.

Sorry to bother you with something that you may class to be quite simple!

Otherwise very good, free web hosting,
Many Thanks,
David

Python is disabled on free hosting for security reasons. Please see this accurate plan comparison to see what is enabled and disabled for different hosting plans. http://x10hosting.com/free-hosting-comparison

Oh, ok well that's a little disappointing! Silly Google gave me a link to this site as a free provider with Python! Bahh, I'm assuming that there will be no providers out there that allow Python files to be executed on a free package if it poses security issues?

Thanks for the prompt response!

There are some free hosting providers that allow Perl and Python. They do have other restrictions (disk space, bandwidth, limited number of signups per day, etc).

You will just have to keep searching.
