GoDaddy Deluxe Shared Hosting supports Python CGI, but has no shell access.
I’ll find out if the FastCGI they advertise as being available for Ruby on Rails could also be made accessible to Python by following the Shared Hosting instructions at the bottom of djangoproject.com.
Here’s the question:
“Is FastCGI accessible from python scripts if I add my own handler? I ask this in specific relation to setting up Django. Is this known not to work?”
Here’s response from Godaddy:
“FastCGI is accessible from Python scripts for our Linux hosting
accounts. We do not allow, however, the addition of a custom FastCGI
handler in our shared hosting accounts.”

If I were you I wouldn’t bother with GoDaddy, DreamHost, Site5 etc for Django hosting… Just go with WebFaction and save yourself hours of pain.
@Bruce
WebFaction’s Private IP address need $5/month,it’s too expensive!
I’m in the same boat; already have godaddy, now wondering if I can start using the “python support” they have. Find anything out?
i’m on the same boat as well.
wonder if you got anywhere with godaddy or just run somewhere else for django hosting.
Hi, I love your work.
Avoid Godaddy for you django needs.
They just recently started to offer ssh access so I attempted to get django running by installing flup and django locally in my home directory (using –prefix flag on the setup.py). It worked great and hooked up with FastCGI and displayed the “It Worked/Welcome to Django” page but trying to build something you obviously need a database and when i selected mysql and sqlite it would crash because both modules aren’t installed on godaddy’s linux shared hosting machines. All attempts to have their techs type “yum install python-sqlite2″ have been met with “please upgrade to a VPS” from their representatives. How can they put on their site that they support python when it’s missing all modules/api’s to access databases?! USELESS!!
