Is there any information I should be aware of when trying to run web2py on Python 2.4? I do agree I wouldn't choose this host, but this is a FREE opportunity for me to check out web2py on a friends paid for account. I'm using this to compare/contrast a host with GAE before I start paying hosting fees myself so swapping isn't an option though I would look for a different host if I decide I prefer the non- google option.
