I heard back from tech support. Python is 'supported' on midphase but they still have version 2.4 installed with no ETA on any upgrades. I think that means I can't use them as a host am I correct?
When you say not to use a public folder, what would I need to do to avoid that. If I put the web2py files in a non-public folder where do I put .htacecss and the WSGI or FastCGI handlers? Do I just leave them in the current public folder and point them somehow to the non- public folder with the RewriteBase command in .htaccess?
