Would cgi be the only option if my webhosting doesn't have psp, zpt, cheetah or mod_python?

If an webhosting doen't have these feature. Can I install them ? Any experiences on this? I'm assuming that asking the webhosting system admin. to install these framworks in not an option for now.-- And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. --

You might benefit some from scgi. From the httpd side, you can either use mod_scgi in the server or cgi2scgi if can't install mod_scgi. cgi2scgi doesn't have all the performance benefit of mod_scgi, but cgi2scgi is a fairly lightweight C program.
