Python Anywhere with pythonanywhere - Simplified Python VPS hosting

Key Takeaways

hey guys welcome to a uh quick video just showing off uh this website python anywhere.com if you visit that website uh this is their little landing page here uh they do have paid accounts but they also have free accounts so you can just sign up for their free account um and pretty much use everything the only thing they won't let you do with a free account is do outbound HTTP requests mostly probably because people would abuse it and do like Doses and stuff like that with them so uh that's probably why but anyway you can make a free account and it's super cool super easy and I'm going to show you guys some of the stuff that you can do with in there and just as a side note um not an affiliate or anything there's no affiliate link I'm just kind of showing it off they're not paying me to do this or anything like that uh I just think it's a really cool website um so anyway uh when you log in you look something like this you Pro if you didn't buy an account you don't have as many seconds as I do um but anyway uh so when you get there you have something that looks like this you've got files you got consoles that you can run and so it's a lot like having it is your own pretty much VPS right so you but it comes with just everything python so if you you know are following the Amazon web services tutorial video and you're probably all pretty much all my subscribers just are all about python right so I'm assuming that a lot of people watching this are that's what they're interested in anyway so um I think it's definitely a good good website to show off real quick so they've got everything python here they've got 2726 33 and they've also got the I python Pi pie and then also you also have like you know your typical bash right so your you know typical command line where you can do all kinds of fun stuff and uh there's not too much here but there's a few things um so you have that but also what makes it nice is if you are looking for a place to run you know your Python scripts kind of like in the cloud so to speak uh you can do that with this website and so like for example I'll go to my my files tab and I have this test.py script so we'll click on this and here it is just a sample script of um my API one minute I'll have to authorize this off token though all right so I got the uh o and that'll so it'll at least work um so it's just this the script here is just something that accesses my uh sentiment API on sent deex uh and it'll feed through like this text here so I'm super excited to use this awesome sentiment analysis API anyway anyway so now you know we could do anything we wanted like adding you know like bar two for example and you can edit the script uh so we can say this is 56 right and you can either just save the script or you can hit save and run and it's going to run the script for you so now it's running it's returning a four since it was somewhat positive uh text there but the best thing is you didn't have to do any of that stuff I showed you with AWS anymore so we can close out of this it's still running we can go to dashboard and here is test Pi still running we can click on it probably see more for than were there before right so now it's you know halfway through the page a little bit further and so we can go back to our dashboard and we can even log out so now we've completely logged out we'll wait a few seconds here and maybe I'll pause it I'll pause it and let a few more so you'll see when it's a full screen of fours all right it's probably all set so I'm going to log in and so you can see our stuff is still running if I open this up here um indeed we have more than a full full page of fours I'm going to go ahead and interrupt this so stop spamming myh website uh come back to dashboard here and uh well come over here and even though you know we interrupted it uh we still want to kill it uh so we'll hit kill that sounds horrible um so you can do that the other really neat thing that you can do one obviously it's like your scripts are everywhere right so you just need a web browser and you can visit your scripts uh but the other thing you can do is actually share the consoles with somebody else so as you code in one console someone one else can view what you're coding in that console at the same time um so obviously like that's really cool so if you wanted to like you know collaborate with somebody you can share the console and um kind of see what everybody's doing so that's actually uh pretty pretty darn impressive actually even just like the web you know python consoles is pretty cool so um those are just some Basics it also has obviously my SQL I'm wondering if I can get a list of all of the uh I've seen it like before Here It Go batteries included I think yeah and so this has all like everything for python 27 that it's got installed here it's got everything uh 26 that it's got and then it's got a list of python 33 stuff that it already has um so one of the nice things about like all of this is you can use all of these uh things that are just pre-installed like scon and all that stuff and it's already pre-installed it's going to work right uh so sometimes installing various things can be very tedious and annoying but you don't have to worry about that here because everything is done for you including you know Django and all that stuff too so really cool website a lot of stuff that you can do with this um it's not too bad pricing wise though the account that I currently have is like $5 a month or something and you can already do a lot the reason why I maxed out my seconds this time is I I ran a uh the Twitter Twitter feed through it just for a little bit cuz I was just trying to gauge how many seconds it would use and that was uh it used quite a few seconds to say the least I ran it for a few hours but anyway um neat website definitely check them out um again I'm not not an affiliate or anything like that I just really like the website I think it's a good idea and uh it's pretty neat uh so far all my interactions with them have been pretty good and the stuff that I see them posting about and stuff it seems like they're really on on top of it um so that's pretty neat uh they've got pretty good reliability they're improving the reliability now now um so I haven't really been with them long enough to give a good estimate of as far as their uptime but you can check various websites you might even be able to find something on their forms they're pretty transparent about everything that's going on so uh definitely a cool website regardless of what you plan to do with it even if you just want to use the free account and be able to code python wherever you go uh definitely something to look into so anyway hopefully you guys uh found that interesting as always thanks for watching thanks for the support the subscriptions and until what
