Python and ISPs

[hoopy_frood at my-deja.com]

Responding to my own post here, as the plot has progressed a bit.  When a
programmer on the staff of my ISP saw that I was willing to move to a
different one over the Python issue, he went into action.  They've set up a
development server to test for potential security issues and seem to be
making every reasonable effort to get Python Powered in a few days.

If it works out, then we can score one point for guerilla advocacy!  In the
meantime, thanks for the responses so far, as I plan to follow up on them and
publish my conclusions about the whole experience on my PIGgie site, which is
presently located at:
