Thanks for your help,

I'd have no problem compiling python on the webserver, but there isnt
user accounts on the webserver. The thing is though I dont need to
ssh/telnet/rlogin to get to another machine, it seems all the machines
hard disks are more of less mounted in a common hierarchy. So in
theory, thats why I thought altering the shebang would work. The
problem arises I think because the webserver is using SunOS whereas my
local machine is Linux, so python on my machine is non binary
compatiable with the server. I logged onto a couple of other Sun
Machines and it seems that python isnt installed in any of them (it is
installed on the linux machines). Time to chat to the administrator I
think.

Thanks ever so much for your help, it was much appreciated.
