AsSalam and hi all,

In this tutorial, I will share about PythonAnywhere ( https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ ).  PythonAnywhere is an online integrated development environment and web hosting service based on the Python programming language. Founded by Giles Thomas and Robert Smithson in 2012, it provides in-browser access to server-based Python and Bash command-line interfaces, along with a code editor with syntax highlighting -: Wikipedia

A simple version of understanding for me is “this enables me to write and publish python project easy and fast!” Alright then, let’s get started!

 

• First, open www.pythonanywhere.com and click on Start running Python online in less than a minute button.

• For start, select the Beginner: Free! plan, click the Create a Beginner account button.

• Enter suitable Username, Email, Password (other than abc123 )  and click the Register button to proceed with the registration.

• There you go, your account is created!

• You also need to check your email for account confirmation.
• Click on the link given.

• Now that your account is confirmed, you can now start using it.
• Another thing that makes pythonanywhere interesting is, they provide step by step guide for the user.
• Now, go to your Dashboard.

• Here you may find detail about your account usages and files or projects.

• Click on Web link.
• Here, you may see your web app URL, for example, mine is https://wansazli.pythonanywhere.com

• You might get the default webpage for start. We will change it.

• Now, click on the Add a new web app button and select, for example, Flask as the Python web framework and click the Next button.

As you noticed, there is selection of frameworks you can explore. 

• Now, select the Python version. We will go for the latest one, Python 3.8. Click the Next button to proceed.

• Here, it will show the app path, we just proceed and not change it. Click the Next button.

• All done its says. Yes, your Flask Python already deploy.
• Click the Reload (green) button.

• Have a look at your webpage, its already update.

• You may have a look at other details of your app by scrolling down.
• You will see there is an option to modify your app or delete it.

 

• Ok, before we end our tutorial, Go to Files page, click the Files link at the top nav section.
• You then see, there is the flask_app.py file that we created just now. Click on it to open it.

• Here you can write your python code, save and run it.
• For example, just change some output value/text, click the Save button and Run button.
• The script will be run and if there is no error, you may click the Reload button next to the Run button to “upload” the update on your webpage,

• Your webpage should be updated.

 

There you go, a simple way running Python scrip online. I hope you take advantage of this platform by try to explore, write and run more Python script. If I get the time, I will share more tutorials on Python using Pythonanywhere here.

Thank you and hope this motivates you guys to start learning new programming language.
