Deploy Flask on Godaddy Linux share hosting with cPanel
1 test your python environment, be attention that put your python code on document root fold or sub folder cgi-bin, otherwise your code is not able to accessed through cgi.
here is sample of testing python code:
set privilege to 755 !!!!!!!(dont know why)
Meanwhile add a handler for extension .py through cPanel or change hello.py to hello.cgi
run it through : http://yourdomain.com/hello.py or hello.cgi
2 install virtualenv pip and create your own python environment and install Flask through pip.
3 create cgi application under folder of cgi-bin:
4 create myapp folder under document root, create .htaccess inside of myapp:
Be careful that although there is a link www point to public_html folder, but it does not work if you put here www.
test link: http://yourdomain.com/myapp/

Regarding FastCGI on Godaddy shared host:
I have successfully config Flash with FastCGI through flup, but it does not make sense. Since the socket will be closed after a HTTP access, apache creates a new process to deal with a new request.
Lets look into flup source code:
sock.getpeername() will throw a exception, which indicate that socket does not exist, there is no different between CGI and FastCGI on initialising of python app.
I also got proof on Godaddy support website:

here is sample of testing python code:
#!/usr/bin/python #hello.py print "Content-Type: text/html" # HTML is following print print "<html><header><title>Test CGI Python</title></header><body>Hello CGI!</body></html>"

#!/yourpythonpath/python #myapp.py from wsgiref.handlers import CGIHandler from yourapplication import app CGIHandler().run(app)
4 create myapp folder under document root, create .htaccess inside of myapp:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /home/yourloginname/public_html/cgi-bin/myapp.py/$1 [L]
