If possible, I suggest you dump them and switch to dreamhost.com, 
which is much more reasonable.  It will be a hassle to switch, but if 
you're going to do much Python CGI, it will be well worth it to be 
able to run and test your code interactively.

Another reason to switch.  I switched for the same reason (well, 
worse; web2010 are a bunch of perl-heads and refused to even install 
Python for me) -- it was a nuisance, but it was worth it.

Good luck,
