And for most exceptionally cheap hosting services, your choices are usually limited to PHP, static HTML (possibly server-side includes if you're lucky), or CGI. So CGI is often the easiest way to get dynamic websites written in Python (or Perl) onto cheap web providers. And for the small sites that use such hosting, the overhead of CGI doesn't generally cause much issue. -tkc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
