Your choice
We have quickstart installers for Django, web2py, Flask, and Bottle — we can also handle any other WSGI web framework that you want to use, and it's probably already installed.
Your existing Python scripts run on CoCalc. Either open a Terminal in the code editor, or click the 'Shell' button to open a Python command line. Terminals also give you access to git and many more utilities. Regarding collaboration, terminals can be used by multiple users at once.This means you can work with your coworkers in the same session at the same time.

I have a simple python script that gets the local weather forecast and sends an email with the data I want to run this script daily, i found out that cron is used for this purpose but online cron jobs require a url I wanted to ask how to host my python scripts so that they run online through a url, if possible that is.

— James Milner (@JamesLMilner) 17 May 2015@pythonanywhere You guys rock! It was so easy to get a basic #django 1.8 project up and running. Thanks!
— Dave O'Connor (@DJOconnor3) 12 May 2015If you attempt to access a Python script on a site using the Apache webserversoftware and simply see the Python code, you may need to place the scriptin acgi-bin
directory, if you wish to use the Common GatewayInterface (CGI) method of running scripts - see HOWTO Use Python in the web for drawbacks of using this method, though it may be the simplestway to run such scripts on a web site that won't have a lot of load from Python scripts on the site.Assuming you are running your own server and have access to Apache's httpd.conf
file, look for a line similar to the following line in the VirtualHost
section for the website:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ '/home/jdoe/public_html/cgi-bin/'
If there is not such a line, you may need to add it and restart Apache, e.g., with apachectl restart
.
You can have multiple ScriptAlias
directories in the VirtualHost
section for a site - see the Configuring CGI Scripts
section of 1.4 Web Server Configuration from CGI Programming with Perl. E.g.:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ '/home/jdoe/public_html/cgi-bin/'
ScriptAlias /cgi2 '/home/jdoe/public_html/test/cgi-bin'
If you can run a Python script from a command line interface (CLI), aka shellprompt, without errors, e.g., python example.py
, but receive the error message below when running the script on an Apache web server, you may need to change the permissions on the script to make it 'executable'.
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error ormisconfiguration and was unable to completeyour request.
Please contact the server administrator at webmaster@moonpoint.com to inform them of the time this error occurred, and the actions you performed just before this error.
More information about this error may be availablein the server error log.
You can change the permissions on a file with the chmod
command.The command chmod 755 somefile.py
will make the filesomefile.py executable for all accounts on the system or you canuse chmod u+x,g+x,o+x
- see Linux File Permissions forinformation on setting file permissions on Unix/Linux systems.
A test script that you could place in a cgi-bin directory for testing is shown below:
You could name the file test.cgi
or you may find thattest.py
will work. Another example is shown below:
Note: you need to include the 'pound-bang' line, i.e., #!
,informing the system to use Python for the script or you will get an internal error page displayed. The n
on the lines are toput 'newline charactersat the ends of lines, i.e., to put spacing between lines to make the codemore readable if you view the source code for the page in the browser.
In the first example, there are cgitb
lines, i.e.:
As explained at HOWTO Use Python in the web, these make it possible to display a traceback for debugging problems with a script initially instead of just crashing and displaying an “Internal Server Error” in the user's browser. Though this is useful for debugging, it may risk exposing some confidential data to the user, so you should not use cgitb in production code for this reason. You should always catch exceptions and display error pages rather than have the webserver display “Internal Server Errors” in visitors' browsers.
