While I am doing most my own websites are done in PHP, during the day I wrote web-based financial-planning applications for one of the largest deployment in Australia in this simple, elegant and yet powerful programming language — Python.

Python is a great language, and there are many great Python web frame-works out there (which is one of its strength but also weakness). However, we do not see heaps of ready-to-install open-source web applications written in Python, unlike PHP. One of the biggest issue is difficulties to deploy — PHP is pretty much everywhere, but many web hosts don’t even support Python.

Here I am going to share about getting your Python-based website/web-application hosted.
