Any place to run a simple python script? For free.

I just need to keep it running, forever.

Can't run on my laptop, script needs constant internet.

See pythonanywhere.com , redhat's openshift, heroku

@vish they all need a process listing on a port for incoming connections, they crash otherwise. If i have that processing running, i can't run my non web thread.

"forever"

dude what?

docker? or a vm on aws or such... But I think theres gotta be a better way to do what u wanna do tho.... maybe use nodejs instead of python I understand its threading is asyncronous and sockets wont close if theres no activity... Or maybe I missunderstanding what u saying..

Google AppEngine had a free tier, would that be enough?

A raspberry pi

@tahnik forever as in, the script polls a url every 2 mins, i need the script running for polling.

@JohanO don't have a credit card 😞 otherwise that's the best option for me

@kdev pythons threads are blocking, otherwise it would have so easy running my process in the background.

firebase functions

@coldfire need to run a continuously polling function. Would firebase be helpful in that?

You can use a Google cloud environment if you wanna get your hands a bit dirty.
