The Python Wiki has lists of both free and commercial hosting services. 
The top page is http://wiki.python.org/moin/PythonHosting.  Did you look at 
these?  Are the choices inadequate?  (I have no idea, never having been 
involved with the subject.)

Yes, that is why the wiki pages were added.  Improvements are welcome, I 
presume.

We all wish that.  But in my ignorance, I wonder why the few that there are 
are so insufficient that you would drop Python (for PHP, no less).  Do 
clients require that you use specific hosting services, even though they do 
not host a preferred package?  Do the few Python hosters that there are, 
knowing that they are few, exploit Python developers with high rates or 
other obnoxious policies?  This issue has been raised enough that I really 
am curious.
