Well, for one thing, he may not have a machine to dedicate to using as a
server, that is as reliable as a good hosting service. He may not always
be around to ensure that his server is up. Also, a good web host will
provide support and help you with things you aren't sure of.

Well, I'm not sure what you have in mind by "inexpensive", but I highly
recommend FutureQuest.net. They have recently installed Python2.2. Bruce
Guenter (well known author of Qmail add-ons) is on staff and supports
the Python installation. http://em.ca/~bruceg/ 
The FutureQuest.net community is fabulous. http://aota.net/forums/

Here is a link to their homepage:

I have a basic plan, which is $20/month on a month-to-month basis,
$15/month if paid yearly. I write and run not only Python cgi-scripts,
but also python utilities and python mail scripts on my site.
