We currently require python 2.7, I also didn't know :)
This string: query_db_string =
u'qs:{}::db:{}'.format(self.query_string, self.db)
uses the format feature in a way thats only supported in python 2.7.
See:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5446964/valueerror-zero-length-field-name-in-format-error-in-python-3-0-3-1-3-2
http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
I don't know if there is any other things that relies on python 2.7?
The problem is in https://github.com/paulosman/python-xrd so you can
change that if you want?
I recommend compiling python 2.7 on the server and using that for the
virtual environment. I've done this before on a shared server and it
worked fairly well. Here is a guide of how to do that on bluehost:

Hope that helps a bit
Cheers
