web-hosted python

[Giorgi Lekishvili]

Hi all!
It happened so that a friend of mine is starting his own business:
communications company providing, among others, web-hosting.
Of course, I asked him to keep python and allow its use along with perl.

I have the two questions to this community:
1. What you think is needed for a comfortable use of python as a
web-development tool? My suggestions were:
- mod_python;
- PIL;
- Mysqldb.
2. Hence the second question. He is refusing to keep mod_python saying
something about its law efficiency.
The service has not been started yet, so I may influence on making it
more python-friendly.
I shall be much obliged to you all, if you find time to provide me with
more profound argumentation regarding the topics outlined above.
All at all, we shall all benefit from another fully featured python
friendly web –hosting provider.
GRTZ,
Giorgi
