Do you meet a problem of setting up CGI for python? I found this post which 
may be helpful to you: Python CGI setup for hostgator 
hosting

RE: Django installation on Hostgator

[bb6xt]

Hi Gjorge,
I haven't used Hostgator but I believe just extracting the required packages 
into project root should work. Here what am proposing:
myproj/
myproj/
django/
django_extensions/
South
This way you simply upload your project to the server along with the 
dependencies. 
dislaimer: I haven't use hostgator and I didn't follow the link in your post.

Thank you all for your answers - I decided to switch the hosting service to 
Webfaction .
They have lots of tutorials and great support.

Re: Django installation on Hostgator

[Avraham Serour]

Hi, I'm also using hostgator to host a django project.
first of all note that they have different plans with different features,
what I'm going to write applies to their shared hosting plans.

Looks like they are using some version of centos, which comes with python
2.6 I believe.
Installing a python from source on your home folder is a good idea, but
unfortunately hostgator blocks access to gcc.
on the other hand they already have python 2.7.3 installed, juts use python2.7
as the executable, try running "python2.7 -V"
btw, they also have python2.6 for 2.6.6 and python3 for 3.2.3

after that you should use virtualenv to create a project specific env so
you can install things using pip. download the virtualenv.py file to you
project folder and run it from there. for the index.fcgi file you should
put this in the first line:
#!/home/username/projectname/env/bin/python

other than that I think it should be standard, maybe I should do a blog
posting documenting this better. let us now if this works

You can also try this: https://my.hostgator.com/cgi/help/530 and/or this: 
https://my.hostgator.sg/cgi/help/python-install though iric it was riddled 
with issues. Been a bit since I had to do it without the ability to install 
things intelligently. Personally I'd suggest trying to install virtualenv 
and see if you can even get that to work. If you can't then you're probably 
screwed (again though I'd still suggest switching hosts).

Re: Django installation on Hostgator

[John Neumann]

You would be correct. You cannot install anything else on HostGator (it's 
why I left them despite their fantastic customer support). You can see what 
they do have installed 
here: 
http://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/hardware-software/python-modules

Outside of those things you're hosed. Either find another host or lose the 
libs. After I had the same problem I moved to WebFaction and couldn't be 
happier there. They have great customer support as well (though I do miss 
the ability to chat on the fly). 

Also it would be easier to install django if you had another host. 
Hostgator is great for most things outside of Python land. Again, like 
Hostgator, but their Python/Django support is weak sauce.
