Greetings Comrades, Pythonistas!
I am looking for guidance on the quick and easiest path to set up a Python wiki.
A wiki application idea popped into my head while I was making morning coffee. It's not what I should be thinking about, but I hate to let an interesting idea die an unexplored death. One of the aspects of Python I am enamored with is the ease with which I can explore a idea without overplanning and committing to it (during which process I would likely find such ideas below a threshold priority level). Python encourages me to explore potentialinnova tion, and hare-brain ideas. Perhaps mostly the latter, but it is fun which Python's ease of use gives me license to. :-)
Thus I am looking for a wiki I can set-up on someone else's host with low effort analogous to launching the Python interpreter.
Can anyone recommend an approach from their experience or knowledge?
I believe I've thoroughly done the 'python wiki' Google in the past and wound up lost in readme.txt hell.
Where would I host a Python wiki? - I assume I need more host control than simple FTP access. Do I need my own server or 'server instance'?
Oh, jeez, I wanted to make this a simple project to start, but should I write a standalone server/wiki?
[No, non, no! What is the quick and easiest path to set up a Python wiki?]

You need to purchase a shared web hosting account that allows you to run
CGI scripts and gives you shell access (not just ftp access, you connect
using an ssh client), such as at pair.com, but of course there are other
hosts to choose from.
Then you can install moinmoin or phpwiki or pmwiki or whatever you want.
But here are some free solutions:
-www.seedwiki.co m lets you start a wiki for free
-if you have a cable internet connection and the cable provider allows
it, you can run the wiki engine off your own computer. There are some
standalone wiki engines that make that easier, but installing the apache
web server and php/python is easy too. Then use a service like http://www.zoneedit.com/ so you have a permanent domain name to point
people to your wiki.

Why do you say that he need a shell access ?

Can anybody recommend a good hosting package
for Python? Must be cheap, that is max. $5 per month.
If the solution offers Java+MySQL as well, that would
be great!

Does anyone know of some ISPs that have Mod_Python installed. Most
seem to allow Python CGI but not things like Mod_Python or Spyce. Is
this a viable solution or should I just learn PHP. I would prefer to
leverage my Python knowledge but I also would like a fast robust
solution.
Thanks Joey.

I have been using java (jsp/servlets), vb/asp and perl for a few years.
Almost all my projects are web site development related, and many of my
clients' web sites are hosted on those shared web hosting services.
The problem is that it's difficult to find hosting services with Python
installed and supported. And most hosting companies are reluctant to
install it for you because they don't want to do the extra work(they

I appologize in advance for this strange (and possibly stupid)
question.
I want to know if there is a way to interface a MySQL database without
Python-MySQL or without installing anything that has C files that need
to be compiled. The reason for this, is that I want to develop a
certain web application, but my hosting provider (!#@$!@#%) isn't very
eager to supply Python-MySQL (or any modules to python). Is there an
alternative approach...

will connect to mysql database at one end and a wxpython based thin
client at the other end.

I know there are quite a few hosting companies now who represent
themselves as Python-friendly. Rather than trawl through the Wiki pages,
however, and email each one separately I am sending this request to the
comp.lang.python list (and putting it on my blog) in the hope of
attracting those companies who are more involved with the Python community.
There is a particular problem, highlighted recently by this comment from

I understand that urllib and urllib2 serve as really simple page

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
