I know this is now an old thread, but am interested in further comments about peoples expectations of how a web hosting company can satisfy your demands for commodity web hosting for TurboGears. Thus have sprinkled a couple of questions amongst this response that someone previously provided.

Would it not be better if the community who wants this sort of stuff develop a basic package and well documented steps for installation which serves as a skeletal framework for web hosting companies that they can install and customise as they need to to get it working in their environment. The last thing a web hosting company, who generally wants to put out as minimal amount of effort and money as possible, would want is to have to do it all themselves and thus would probably be frightened off doing anything if it all appears too complicated. Remember that web hosting companies are not going to be experts on particular Python web frameworks and possibly will never be able to set it up as good as the community who are actually developing and using the Python web framework. > - set up superverisord, to start and stop the application (or build a web > application to do it) > - Set up different service configurations with different config files, i.e. > develop/staging/production mode Its one thing to say that you want development, staging and production areas, but how do you expect to be able to interact with each individually if you want them to be running and available in parallel. The majority of Python web framework applications are structured or written so as to expect to run out of the root of the web site URL namespace. Thus, if you only have one virtual host available to you, you can't necessarily host them out of the same virtual host domain name. If you only expect to be running one site configuration at a time, how are you going to be able to test it before switching it to the new configuration. Thus, how do you perceive having different configurations and parallel versions working in practice? Do you expect to use additional virtual host domains, separate web server ports, some magic use of cookies to denote which site to serve? That's probably a good start. I am sure I probably have other questions if the discussion develops. Thanks.
