The situation of python on shared web hosting is very sad. Most of them run CentOS which comes with Python 2.4 (which is 6 years old) and no mod_pyhton. This is not just a problem for web2py. This is a problem for all Python users and one that the larger community should address, perhaps by putting some pressure on the hosting providers and/ or the CentOS team.
