Do you? You're writing from a gmail account, not your own site.
I have four hosting accounts with EZpublishing and a dedicated server
at Aplus.net. I spent weeks trying to find a hosting provider that
would provide a Python environment that "just works", like everyone
does for Perl. What you typically get is a basic Python 2.4,
and a refusal to install more packages, because it's so time-consuming.
Or a quote of $50 to $150 per hour to install Python packages.
There are a very few hosting providers that actually want to provide
Python hosting, such as Hard Hat Hosting. But most don't.

I don't see any evidence to back up this unsubstantiated claim.
