[Tutor] How to install python on to a remote apache server

[Joseph Quigley]

Hi,
I'd like towrite some internet applications but I don't know how to test 
them unless I have python
on my server. However, It's running Apache 1.3.3 and it's a remote one 
(I'm in the Americas and it's in Europe) so I don't know how to access 
it. I also would like to know what platform of python to download. Is 
there a special server edition? Or do I just use a regular Linux edition?
Thanks,
Joe
