I am afraid not. It is very bare bone. Also they do not really support python. (When they had a problem, perl and bash scripts worked within a day, python scripts had to wait for one and a halve week.) I am thinking about switching my provider. What are important things to keep in mind when selecting another one? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
