Hi Nick, In my limited experience, you seem to have two options:
1. You can switch to another host who will grant you root access (such as linode.com) and proceed to install django and python with the required dependencies. OR You can downgrade to Python 2.7 and use django 1.7 with your current BlueHost plan. The issue of not having root access will however remain. I hope this will help you in choosing a way forward and to getting your project completed.
