Hi, I'm with Tiger Technologies (we saw this post -- a little late -- via a Google Alert).
We are a shared hosting company, and that's why "sudo" didn't work. However, as Shawn mentioned, it is possible to use virtualenv to install a private copy of Django and other Python modules (we do have the necessary dependencies). To make sure, I just followed Shawn's instructions to the letter on a test account, and it works. That said, if you're going to be using Django for anything other than experimentation, Clifford's point is probably valid, too -- it might be easier to use a company that has Django preinstalled and considers themselves experts on it in case you run into trouble. I wouldn't say we're Django experts... and while we'll probably eventually offer it preinstalled to all customers, we're waiting for the next Debian Linux release to get a reasonably current version with updates managed by the Debian security team. So we'd certainly understand someone switching elsewhere based on needing better Django support (and we don't have evil fixed-term no-refund contracts, so you don't lose money by switching). Anyway, just wanted to confirm that Django certainly *should be* possible if you're feeling adventurous, Thomas, though perhaps adventure isn't what you're looking for. -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies, http://www.tigertech.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
