I just paid the hosting for one year in advance, I can't change that now, Not till I am sure it makes sense financially to put more money in my website.
When you say sockets below are you talking about this: Our CGI service does not support the creation of socket connections. This includes "sockets module" and "socket connections." This prevents scripts and applications from creating real-time links to other servers (such as outgoing mail servers). This restriction is in place to inhibit spammers and protect bandwidth. Likewise, streaming media is not supported, nor are other real-time services like IRC. This is what they say about their service. I know that the paster server opens a port specified in the .ini file. Wold that at list be allowed to comunicate with the appache server? How does it actually work?

If they allow generic use of .fcgi as extension for fastcgi scripts there generally wouldn't be a restriction on what language you can use. It is actually probably pretty hard to even put in place a language restriction because FASTCGI is a socket protocol so even if they had a fastcgi wrapper set up for purposes of user switching and the extension .pl was mapped in Apache, you could probably still put Python code in it with appropriate #! line saying it was actually Python. This is because unlikely that fastcgi wrapper is going to invoke the specific interpreter but would still just run the script and let the script determine what interpreter is used. I would really suggest you just use a web host that properly supports Python via fastcgi or other mechanism. The most popular among Python people is WebFaction.
