Depends. If you're on shared hosting, you'll probably want to run Django via FastCGI or SCGI, just because that tends to be easiest for both customer and host. In which case you'll want Apache plus either the FastCGI or SCGI module, and a single MySQL or PostgreSQL database (go with whatever you prefer, they're both good. In my experience you're more likely to get MySQL on shared hosting, though). If you've got a VPS or dedicated server, then go for mod_python; at that level they should be giving you the access you need to use it well. In either case, you'll want a recent Python (2.3 or 2.4, 2.4 is best) and the bindings for the database you plan to use. -- "May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house." -- George Carlin
