This would likely not be possible in the first place

Your use case doesnât seem to be suitable for shared hosting in generalâŚ
Shared hosting is, after all, for running websites. Once you get to the point where your application is more like a service, or use binaries in it, it will not fit on a hosting service due to their natures.

@Meishin not exactly. I wanted to share using this great free hosting a interface thru with persones could access and test the server working and eventually help to develop the in-game universum.
Not every one has a propper client to access it, so I thought to build-in one into UI
Iâm still having trouble forming a clear picture of the architecture of your project, but I think I have a better idea now about the context.
Like @Meishin also said: web hosting is for websites, not other things.
It sounds like you already have a game server that needs to run somewhere, so web hosting cannot fully satisfy the hosting needs for your project anyway.
Many web hosting providers (ourselves included) also limit which outbound ports you can use, which may prevent direct connections to your game server.
I would personally run a sidecar on the game server itself, or maybe have this intermediate connector hosted somewhere else, so your website code can interact with that middle program that can translate the game server protocol into something you can easily transfer over the internet, which would probably be HTTP.
Taking and presenting that data from the game server (through the connector) on the website can be done with pretty much any language. If the connector is already using Python, I can see the benefit of the website using Python too, but it should be possible with PHP too.
I think I have a better understanding now why it might be useful to you. But please also understand that this is an extremely specific use case, so itâs not really a good reason to prioritize support for Python on our hosting.

Hello. If you donât mind me asking, are you getting paid for this particular project or under non-disclosure agreement? If some particular things that canât be expounded on what Python can do and PHP canât, we would understand. Our admin is pretty accommodating actually and this might be your best chance to pitch in for Python on a free plan - by elaborating on PHPâs inherent limitations. I donât use Python myself, but if you are talking about applying âpressureâ then this might be it. Who knows, maybe another Python user might accidentally discover you and chime in. Be the voice in the wilderness that might really lead into something.
However, based on your own account, the specifications are rather huge or intensive even if the hosting-side files are expected to be small. Mush/MUD server, do they handle massive multiple users at the same time? Even if you are using this only for development, the resources consumption I assume is never small. I highly doubt you could find something like that in any free non-trial website hosting plans.
Hello. Many game web servers have a website thru with users can interact with the game on an external server, so I thought that it would be great if this hosting could offer such one 
As for connector, it wouldnât be a big problem because the website wouldnât directly connect ti the game server, but thru a second half of the python3 bridge 
@siglo_ph currently, itâs my personal project, but I donât exclude possibility to do it community one, despites that the offered on this server game type is directed more to a specific community type.
