python hosting

[hlkdogan]

Hi,

is it possible to host python applications with free account. I wanted to install trac system thus, i uploaded application via file manager. Would someone be able to tell me what I did wrong and if python hosting is possible, could you tell about process. Thanks

Yes, as long as they don't require SSH.

Did you put the files in the cgi-bin directory?

First, add

AddHandler cgi-script .py

to .htaccess

Second, shebang line that works for me

#! /usr/local/bin/python

Third, permissions set to 0755

Fourth, must send out proper HTTP headers before content

print("Content-type: text/html\n")

Fifth, Python 2.6 installed, not Python 3. And you might have to download and install some modules into your filesystem.
