It at least has to support a reasonable way to deploy an application
using the said framework - now what this implies depends on the choosen
framework.

It really depends on the ISP. You have to check on case by case basis.

Things may get a bit more complicated when it comes to web applications.
FWIW, I'm not sure you can deploy any web applications in Java without a
(distinct, long-running process) application server... In the very worst
case, Python has at least CGI support (now why would anyone go for an
ISP that doesn't provide a better Python support is another question !-).
