Under their Perl FAQ entry they say:
"""NOTE: This will need to be done in any directory outside of /cgi in
which you want to run .fcgi scripts."""
So, they mention .fcgi files.
It would be quite silly if they were using .fcgi files and the only
thing you can stick in it is Perl. If that were the case they should
have used a specific Perl extension.
As such, it looks a good bet that if you can get flup installed into
your account and can set up sys.path to reference where flup is, it
may work.
Thus, install flup under lib/python in your home directory. Presuming
your home directory is '/home/pf4pylons', then use following in file
called 'hello.fcgi'.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/home/pf4pylons/lib/python')
def myapp(environ, start_response):
start_response('200 OK', [('Content-Type', 'text/plain')])
return ['Hello World!\n']
if __name__ == '__main__':
from flup.server.fcgi import WSGIServer
WSGIServer(myapp).run()
Get that going and then you can work out getting Pylons installed as
well.
