Is their a simple way to test if it is already (automatically) available without asking tech support?
Yeah. Put a CGI script in a password-protected directory and have it print out the environment. If there's an HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable that says "Basic" followed by some base64 gibberish, you're in.
Uh oh. What was that that just went over my head. :)
I attempted to do what I thought you said. I created a directory, cgi-bin/test, and gave it only owner permisions. I then tried to run the test.py script from Netscape and got an error. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/test/test.py on this server.
Oops. :)
Got any instructions for someone who's clueless?

I didn't know it when I signed up with my webhost but having access to the C compiler came in handy. When I request they add Python 1.5.x to their support they said okay if they get enough requests. So with a little help from c.l.p. I compiled Python 1.5.1 to my directory. :) I can see it will come in handy with Zope. :)
FWIW, we'll be making self-contained binary distributions of Zope available that have their own pre-built Python interpreter and extensions. So, assuming you are on a platform that we have binaries for, you won't need a C compiler to use Zope. Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@digicool.com Technical Director (540) 371-6909 Python Powered!
