python installation? how to?

I_AM · 03-01-2005, 07:49 PM

I want to install Python on a web hosting server with cPanel. How do I check if it is installed or not? If not, how do I install? Any downside to using Python for a web hosting server?

root@server [~]# rpm -q python
python-2.3.3-6

root@server [~]# rpm -q mod_python
mod_python-3.1.3-1.fc2.2

I believe I may have to edit httpd.conf ? What changes?

Thank you in advance

Using:
Fedora Core 2
Cpanel 10.0 R-112

Have you not just answered your own question about if python is installed?

Just make sure it is secure. Python is a very powerful language and you don't want people running arbitrary code on your server.

No sense rewriting the docs here:
