I want to be able to run WSGI apps but my current hosting restricts it. Does anybody know a company that can accommodate my requirements?

My automatic response would be WebFaction.
I haven't personally hosted with them, but they are primarily Python-oriented (founded by the guy who wrote CherryPy, for example, and as far as I know they were the first to roll out Python 3.0 support).

I can second this reccomendation. I've been a happy webfaction user for years. Very easy to deploy Django apps through their control panel either using mod_py or mod_wsgi

I also use webfaction. Don't forget to give my username on registration so I can get a bonus. :D

Yep, I use WebFaction for Python hosting too; they're great.

I've been pretty happy with Dreamhost, and of course Google AppEngine.

Why do many complain about Dreamhost's non-PHP application support, especially Django?

Personally, I found the Dreamhost experience terrible. They do have 'wizards' and workarounds for a lot of stuff, but there's always those edge cases that are excrutiating or impossible in a non-VPS scenario. E.g. installing Trac. Ugh.

I am a big fan of Slicehost -- you get root access to a virtual server that takes about 2 minutes to install from stock OS images. The 256m slice, which has been enough for me, is US$20/mo -- it is cheaper than keeping an old box plugged in, and easy to back up. Very easy to recommend.

Does it provide shell access that isn't through an ajax user interface?

Slicehost, and other VPS vendors, typically provide root ssh access to your virtual machine. I second this answer. For my money, a VPS is the way to go.

Google App engine and OpenHosting.com
Have virtual server by OpenHosting, they are ultra fast with support and have very high uptime.

I have been using WebFaction for years and very happy with the service. They are not only python oriented. You should be able to run anything within the limitations of shared hosting (unless of course you have a dedicated server).
They are probably not the cheapest hosting service though. I don't know the prices. But I can still remember very well my previous hosting provider was unreachable for a week (not their servers, I mean the people).
