Just to provide the final chapter on this, you may be interested and 
appalled to hear that there is in fact a way to run python scripts 
from telnet on my host service at http://www.communitech.net. Another 
user tipped me that this can be accomplished with

perl 'myscript.py'

Do you believe that? It may not be the craziest thing I've ever heard 
of, but it's pretty damn close. It does work and python executes the 
script when the header is read. Apparently, they do not want people 
to be able to call the interactive interpreter altho I can't imagine 
why they are afraid of it.
