Python on x10?

[Palmer640]

I'm not really familiar with Python so I was playing around with it. I wanted to try it on the web a little and came across http://docs.python.org/2/howto/webservers.html#simple-script-for-testing-cgi

When attempting a .py or .cgi both give me a 403 error. Are we disabled from using Python on x10hosting?

IF Python is working on the free-hosting server you account is on...big if

How to use Python scripts

You need to put your script file into folder [ public_html/cgi-bin ]
OR after you add this line [ AddHandler cgi-script .py ] to file [ .htaccess ] - you can put it in folder [ public_html ]

set the first line of your script with the hashbang of [ #!/usr/bin/env python ]
the name of your script file should end with [ .py ]

be sure and set permissions for your script file to [ 750 ]
if you do not set the permission right you will receive a [ Permission denied ] error

This test script works on my free-hosting server

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"

print "Hello world from Python"

We don't officially support python or perl on Free Hosting at this time. If they work, great. If not, don't expect it to be fixed anytime soon.
