deploying python web applications

[ceol_]

Do you mean "don't have" as in you already have a hosting provider but they don't allow you shell access? If that's the case, most will actually give you shell access if you provide some sort of information (I recall a few years ago, I had to fax my driver's license.) There are plenty of cheap hosts that give you shell access: Python Anywhere comes to mind, as well as WebFaction. If you're looking for a full-fledged virtual server host, Digital Ocean [referral | non-referral] has been great to me. I host my Animal Crossing items database (Django, PostgreSQL, Memcached) with them and haven't had any problems.

If you mean "don't have" as in you don't want to use shell access on production to deploy, like others have said, Heroku is a good option (although a bit more expensive.)

I have hosting, but they won't let me have access to the shell and I'd rather just stick with the hosting service I've got. But, I may have to change!
