If you've got FTP access, and 20MB free disk space, there is one 
desperate option - set up a local partition to resemble the target 
machine as closely as possible, compile a python2.2 or 2.3, do some 
liposuction on it (remove the .py files and .pyo files from lib, etc), 
and upload the python tree to your user account on the remote. Change 
the shebangs in the ASK scripts to use your python.
