Shared hostings might offer Python, but it’s probably neglected (outdated, missing database connection libraries, etc.) and nobody really uses that. Effectively all Python web development is done using WSGI frameworks (or more recently, ASGI), and those frameworks expect to be in long-running processes, usually behind a reverse-proxy. Starting up the Django dev server takes about one second on a blank site, and it increases with code size. The `cgi` module exists, but it’s badly designed, mostly forgotten, and there were plans to remove it (PEP 594).
