WebFaction is definitely a good bet; I've used them for years and, aside
from their developer-friendly features, their support is always prompt,
responsive and helpful.

I'm also starting to look at Python Anywhere but I don't know enough
about their service to recommend them or not. (Altho' they've been
active supporters of the Python world especially in the UK for quite a
few years and they're basically smart and good guys).
