Hi All, I'm evaluating the possibility to use Pylons for developing a new web application (no legacy code/db) that is planned to be deployed on a standard Dreamhost host (see here for its features: http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html).
Googling around, I found a few documents describing the deployment of a Pylons app on Dreamhost:

I have a turbogears1 app running on dreamhost under fcgi, and it's a super
pain in the ass. I have a repoze.bfg(WSGI via paste) app running under
mod_wsgi on webfaction, and it was very smooth.
I did some research on mod_wsgi on dreamhost last weekend and it seemed like
there were some people trying to compel dreamhost to support mod_wsgi. But
no convincing docs that it was actually possible.
I would go with webfaction and save yourself the pain.
i just use dreamhost for static stuff and php crap. i grabbed a
SliceHost account for pylons stuff. the $20 slice is pretty good for
pylons and postgres. i had to ramp up to a $70 slice when i added in
solr though.

Have you considered a cheap VPS? For around the same price as Dreamhost, you can find some cheaper VPSes. Granted, you might not get huge bandwidth for a VPS at that price, but maybe it might be an option for you?
