And for most exceptionally cheap hosting services, your choices are
usually limited to PHP, static HTML (possibly server-side includes if
you're lucky), or CGI.  So CGI is often the easiest way to get
dynamic websites written in Python (or Perl) onto cheap web
providers.  And for the small sites that use such hosting, the
overhead of CGI doesn't generally cause much issue.
