Another participant just raised a similar question!

Unfortunately IPowerWeb.com does not "provide support for custom code or 
custom scripts. We assume that if a customer wants to use Perl, CGI, 
PHP, Python, ASP or any other scripting language, he/she has the 
necessary programming skills to manage his/her scripts."

A starting place is the following script - let's call it "test.py". 
Upload it then invoke it. Try http://url-to-your-site/test.py

#!/usr/bin/python
print "Content-type: text/html"
print
print "<html><head>"
print "<title>Hello World from Python</title>"
print "</head><body>"
print "Standard Hello World from a Python CGI Script"
print "</body></html>
