I think this might be of interest to some here - apparently Dreamhost has just rolled out support for Rails (apparently all ruby installs are up to date at 1.8.2 - python's up to 2.2.x) via FastCGI. [0]
I don't have an account with them these days, but it was mentioned on the Rails list - someone over there (and I'd guess others) had been asking them for it apparently. No word yet on performance or reliability. I suppose it could be in response to something besides Rails, but based on the publicity and explicit listing on their pages I'd say Rails was the impetus (well, the promise of $ to be made with it). Anyway - point is - good news for increasing the "deployability" for python, ruby, perl, etc. and allowing apps to be written in langs besides PHP for clients who can only swing commodity shared hosts. Maybe someone here should petition them re: WSGI? Or maybe that's pushing one's luck...
