Yep it'll work similar on hostgator - tried it out a few months back just to see if I could get it working, haven't actually deployed anything useful but it appears to run ok. I recall that an appropriate version of Python & flup were already installed on my hostgator shared box. I did my install of web2py into a subfolder rather than the site root which probably made things harder. Here's that I can quickly grab from my setup, sorry didn't take detailed notes :(
