Can I use it for Panther or other Scratch mod projects?

Yes.

@flashgocrazy: unfortunately, it is not possible for me to open any ports.  The server is only web.

then how come you said you could do chat.py?

I was confused at the time...


Yeah, I'm mostly inactive.  I check in once in a while though.  If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

gbear605 is willing to host a site for it, even though the server isn't on it.  smile

How Python works at iPage
iPage's PowerPack allows you to write scripts using Python. To ensure that your Python scripts work smoothly, please refer to the following information before you get started:
Path to your Web directory: /home/users/web/b867/ipg.escratchorg
This is important, as most of your scripts will need to specify this location. For example, this is required if uploading files was a function that you'd like your Python script to do.

Path to Python: /usr/bin/python
Note that iPage's CGI servers automatically direct your scripts to this path. You do not need to change the "#!" line at the top of your scripts.

Version of Python: 2.5
This is the version of Python that iPage runs on its servers. Newer versions may be installed as they become available.

Required filename extensions: .py
These are the extensions that your Python files must have or they will not work. For example, they would be yourscript.py

Ok, but I think Magnie wants to hear specifics about Django. I have never used django, so idk what sort of specs or information he wants, but could you ascertain some sort of information about django and iPage.

Re: Free FTP and web hosting!

Ok, I couldn't find any info on Django, so it appears that it may be supported but I wouldn't count on it.  I have never used any CGI on the website (unless you count PHP), so I don't know.

I think I've found a way to code Python ( though it's not Django ) on the server, but it should satisfy.  smile

Edit: I think I've found a way to get Django working on a shared host: http://joemaller.com/1467/django-via-cg … d-hosting/ I should've search for "CGI on shared hosting" before I asked.  tongue
