I'm trying to run a python file on a subdomain that I created. According to HostGator, python files are supported, but not the webapp2 framework, which I used throughout the file:

As far as I understand, webapp / webapp2 is what makes the Handlers + the functions inside of them work. Getting the username input in the "Username" label, for example, is made possible with webapp2.
Since HostGator doesn't support webapp2, what else can I use in its place? The technical support person at HostGator suggested I use PIP or maybe PyPI:
http://webpy.org/install
https://pypi.python.org/pypi
But after I install one of these packages and copy its folder to the directory for my subdomain, how do I know what command to use at the top of the file. Do I just say
import pip
and class MainHandler(pip.RequestHandler):,
class TestHandler(pip.RequestHandler):, etc?
Here's where I'm trying to host:
usersignup.thehamburgercollection.com
Link to previous question
UPDATE: I wasn't able to host this app on appspot.com (google cloud). I just could not figure out how to upload my files to the correct directory - the instructions weren't clear / youtube tutorials were out of date. I'll post a solution if / when I figure out how.
