I was responding to the statement "since when has python been considered a viable alternative for web development". At any rate, I haven't had any problems finding cheap Python hosts, so I think that's largely a straw man--there are _more_ PHP hosts out there, but it's not as though you're limited to only 2-3 Python hosts. There are plenty to choose from. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
