Unfortunately, Python in general is a bit harder to deploy than HTML
and PHP. Site5 has a few different hosting options so to help out it
would be good to know what sort of plan you are on. If it's Shared
Hosting, I think you will want to try the "fastcgi" option. The web2py
book doesn't really provide information on this however.
If you have:
/home/username/public_html
/home/username/web2py
Add and ".htaccess" file at:
/home/username/public_html/.htaccess:
And put this in it:
AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ ./web2py/fcgihandler.py/$1 [QSA,L]
There's going to be one major problem in that you can't access
"admin". This page discusses these issues but for Dreamhost:

I have had the best luck running the "web2py.ubuntu.sh" script on
fresh installs of Ubuntu 10.04 at Amazon or Rackspace Cloud.
