That's great that you got it working, but that isn't always the case.
Some hosts will not allow you to edit/have your own .htaccess files or
edit the main httpd.conf file. In addition, I found that I needed a
PYTHON_EGG_CACHE, a directory where apache could write to to extract
eggs. Some hosts aren't going to let you have shell access to chmod a
directory to allow this. Yes it can be done but you may have to work
with your host or purchase your own dedicated hosting.
