My bigger problem would be that I use mod_python as a front end only. 
That
is, the application is not embedded within mod_python but would run in a
separate set of processes which mod_python content handlers communicate 
to
across a messaging system. The first problem is whether within the 
context
of setting stuff up under SourceForge, whether one even has the ability 
to
run separate processes. The second problem is that the messaging system
support is built on top of C++ code. Thus, there would be a need to be 
able
to build the C++ code and Python wrapper module and be able to install 
it
within the SourceForge environment. If I know the correct host type, it 
can
be compiled on the SourceForge compile farm, so would be more concerned
about the first issue.

I do have my own hosting site, but the mod_python on there is a bit 
broken
because when they linked apache, they didn't link against reentrant 
libc.a
with thread library functions. Thus not possible to build mod_python 
with
thread support and thus cannot use messaging system which requires 
threading.
Only other option is for me to start hosting off my home machine.
