    WebFaction's big thing is that they have a really good system for
installing anything the user wants. They're doing semi-virtual machine
hosting, where each user sees a somewhat different environment, but
doesn't have their own copy of the Linux kernel.  That's a nice
advance in server management.

    Any user can install Python 3.x, but it's not there by default.  See:

    "http://blog.webfaction.com/python-3-0-is-here"

    If that approach catches on, Python 3 deployment will be much easier.
But for now, only a few smaller players like WebFaction are using it.
