Mitch: Thank you for the suggestion. Here is what I sent

Dear LunarPages,
I'm a 5 year+ enthusiastic customer of LunarPages.
One area where LunarPages appears to be trailing is in its support for Python. Here are some easy ways to improve this situation and take advantage of one of the fastest growing languages[1] in the industry.
1. Add a Python specific forum room so that Python questions don't get lost amidst the PHP/Perl conversations.
2. Update your versions of Python from 2.4.3 (2+ years old) to the industry standard 2.5.4. (2.6.x and 3.x are not ready for production use yet). There are pre-built binary installs available at python.org and/or full source if you would like to compile your own.
3. Add support for mod_python and/or Fast CGI for Python. (I recognize this may be a little more involved).
Note: Enhancing your support for Python does not mean you have to add support for Django which I agree does not belong in a shared hosting environment. There are many quality Python web framework alternatives to Django that your customer can use.
If there's anything I can do to help you move forward with any of these suggestions, please let me know.
Regards,
Malcolm
