I do not understand why anybody would use shared hosting in 2015 when you can have PythonAnywere or Google App Engine for free or a dedicated VM on Digital Ocean for $5/mo.
Anyway, the book chapter "Shared hosting with mod_python" must go. mod_python should not be used by anybody anymore. How to use web2py on shared hosting really depends on what they allow. Probably your best best is running web2py locally under the credentials of the user of the shared account and use htaccess/cpanel to do a port redirection using for example apache mod_proxy. I can give more details if you point me to some documentation from the host company.
