Create a virtualenv of Python 2.7 at /home/user/python (The server's python binary is at /usr/bin/python2.7)
Create an .htaccess and index.fcgi file using instructions found elsewhere.
index.fcgi
#!/home/user/python/bin/python
import sys, os
sys.path.append('/home/user/web2py')
os.chdir('/home/user/web2py')
from flup.server.fcgi_fork import WSGIServer
import gluon.main
application=gluon.main.wsgibase
# or
# application=gluon.main.wsgibase_with_logging
WSGIServer(application).run()
.htaccess
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.fcgi/ - [L] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.fcgi/$1 [L]

Can you help me with 2 questions, please?
1-Installing web2py means transferring web2py folders and files to a specific directory on the host?
2-How do I create a virtualenv of Python 2.7 in Hostgator?
Thanks
