Running Python Code On Server. Help Needed.

Hello,

I am learning Python. I tested some basic codes like hello world code on PC with Python 2.6 installed. I was thinking if the hosting supports Python. I have the Logic Plan ($1.95+SSH access). Is python supported on this plan?

I am a bit confused. There seem to be many Python interpreters available like cgi, fast cgi, wxpython and mod_python. I don't how to execute code for other interpreters. I searched for some info on running Python code on server. One of them told to copy the .py files to cgi-bin folder. I tried executing a simple hello world script with .py extension, no luck gave 500 internal server error. I checked MIME types, py was not defined there. It had only cgi, so I renamed it to .cgi but still it shows "500 INternal Server Error". I also gave it 755 permission with no luck. What am I doing wrong?

I tried what I could, but then I need to ask the first question again "Is Python supported in Logic Package"? Thanks in advance.

Python is supported, but because the server is not using mod_python, running a Python script is different than what you would normally expect. If the Python script is not constructed properly, then you'll get that 500 internal server error. I do not have the knowledge on running Python with CGI, but you may want to look into Python with CGI.
