Django is a Python library like any other, so you'll need to be able to add new libraries to your webhost's python installation. Whether you do that as a svn checkout or upload a directory doesn't matter, but you will need access to the python installation (or be able to talk them into installing the library themselves). Django doesn't really need to be compiled/executed, if you can just get the source directory uploaded, into a place that's accessible to the python path, that will be enough. Installing django is extremely easy, provided you've got a host that allows you to install libraries. If they don't, then it could be very hard/impossible. Unfortunately, free hosts often aren't willing to give you shell access, or much put themselves out on your behalf, simply because they're free. Once you've got django installed, your own website is a similar deal: a set of files in a directory that needs to be on the python path. If you can install django you can install your own website. If you cant do one, you can't do the other. Hope that's what you were after, Eric > > On Fri, Aug 7, 2009 at 10:25 PM, Milan Andric <mand...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Justin, it's not.
