You can try for a free shell access at www.arbornet.org. telnet (or better SSH) to m-net.arbornet.org and at the login prompt, type newuser, press enter and follow the on-screen instructions to register.
Once you register, you get a shell account with email and web space. Since it is a free service, space is very limited but should more than serve your needs now. --Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
