Important things to consider

• cPanel’s Python implementation uses the Apache Phusion Passenger extension, which is used to run Ruby, Python and NodeJS applications
• Do not put any dashes in the Application Root / URL / Startup file / Entry Point fields
• While our cPanel services support Python Applications, this would be beyond the scope of support that our Techincal Support Team could assist with. This includes both assistance with making the installation and the management of the Application itself.
