                trying to figure out useful info for running python on dreamhost shared hosting - intended for twitter bot makers
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    python for botmakers, on dreamhost shared hosting

On a shared hosting service like dreamhost, how do you get your twitter bot up and running? Problems:

where should I put my script?
you can't install python modules like tweepy (for twitter access) because you don't have root permission
once you get that solved, how do you run your script? cron?

I'm still figuring this stuff out myself, so nothing is clear as it should be. Hope this page will be a resource that will improve over time.
