How to install Django on shared hosting server with Plesk?

My question is: how can I install DJANGO on a shared hosting account?

My hosting supports PYTHON 2.4. After copying the files to the ftp server, what is the next step? On Django site it says you need to to this:

tar xzvf Django-1.3.tar.gz
cd Django-1.3
sudo python setup.py install

But I dont see any command shell on my plesk account admin page. Now, there is an option on my hosting provider that gives what they call "SSH chrooted shell access with a limited command set" for €60 euros more.

Do I need to get that shell access upgrade for Django/PYTHON development?
Thanks very much!

Solution

  • You could use a "django ready" hoster (eg google apps)!
