Why should they? Opening anything networking will open a port. And if you
have shell access, you can point PYTHONPATH to a directory of your choice
and let easy_install install the packages required there.

I don't see a problem. And _if_ they get mad at you, well - there isn't
anything you can do about that I presume apart from telling them to shut
up - because without a port, there is no webapp...
