Huh? I thought the point with MovPy was *not* to install it! A normal Python installation can certainly be performed in the users home directory. *If* John can log into the machine (ssh/telnet) and use a C compiler (typical on a Linux box) he can build it from source. There are other problems though. Is he allowed to use cgi-scripts or have his own processes running? But in the end it's all simple. John: Make sure to buy from an ISP that supports Python. There are plenty of ISPs, so this can hardly be a major obstacle. See http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonHosting for options. The difficult thing is to decide how to build the web page, considering all the web tool kits available... I disagree on using Zope. It's probably not the easiest to get an ISP to run, and the learning curve would not be worth it for the intended purpose as I understood it. Besides, Zope is currently in the transition from the old version 2 to the much changed version 3, and one of the big advantages of Zope, the big bunch of 3rd party packages that you can simply plug in, it entirely a Zope 2 phenomena. They don't exist for Zope 3 yet, so you have to go for something old that will be deprecated soon, or with the new and spiffy but ... empty. For John, it seems Karrigell, http://karrigell.sourceforge.net/ could be a good fit. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
