First, I've recently setup a Dreamhost account myself with no problems -- feel free to email me directly if you want some help, and I'll see what I can do. That said... Django and Python are still going through growing pains in the shared hosting department. The same thing was going on with

Personally, I'm of the opinion that Dreamhost should be taken off the list of Django-friendly hosts. They don't officially support it, what support they do offer is hit and miss (since it is unofficial) and it seems to me that anything more than a small, lightly trafficked site is going to

Also, wondering if I should give up on django, at least for now. I just can not get fastcgi working. I have read the django wiki, I have tried to follow jeffcroft's tutorial. I just can not get it to work. From what I'm seeing on the message boards, it's a common problem. I've never used
