What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

The capability of the website to help in deploying and running python code from any where in the world.

In fact many a times a small mobile phone or a tablet is more than sufficient to work with this beautiful website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

This is at the sarcastic side.. The website for a new creation of an account says that the user should be more than 13 years old... These days students and kids age less than the age group of 10 years code Python!!! Time to change.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can run my code while teaching Python from any place. if I ask my students to give and submit assignments - they can give me a demo from pythonanywhere website profile. No need to carry and demonstrate with a laptop.

Also creating websites using python web-based frameworks like Django is within minutes. We are lucky to have this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

The deployment process is very quick and hassle free, better than anything I've come across. You get one server and two consoles for free per account. You can git clone your project or upload it manually to the file system and even perform text edits afterwards. Deploying Django projects are as easy as selecting your virtual environment, project directory, static and media files directory and configuring the wsgi file. You can also choose between MySQL/PostgreSQL if needed. The whole process can be done in less than 30 minutes if you're experienced enough. And since you get a free tier, this is almost the perfect place to test out your project before putting it in production. And the pricing to scale up your project is very generous Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

Although the pricing is probably the best you can get, the storage is relatively low and the performance is not particularly great, unless you use the startup plan.

It's great for students and building relatively small projects in production, but for very large projects I would recommend either AWS or Azure instead Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

PythonAnywhere has been my go-to solution for hosting Django projects and test for flaws. Also my personal portfolio itself is hosted using PythonAnywhere Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

Previously, I have been using various platforms to code and run it, wherein they are hesitant because of their complex installation process. When it comes to PythonAnywhere, it has given me a place where I can code, run and even host instantly over the internet. The best things I like about PythonAnywhere are its portability and flexibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

Besides being an amazing platform for all development activities, the only thing I'm concerned about is the prices. Even though it provides certain basic functionalities with limited storage, it might not be sufficient for small firms or startups. Apart from this, it is an excellent platform for development in python. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

PythonAnywhere has given me a single-stop solution to code, run and host over the cloud with zero installation efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

It enables me to create and run basic Python programs in my beginners course. The cool thing I relly liked is it provides us with some memory and storage spaces ro store and run the program whereever need since it's running on the cloud. It also provides the bash scripting tools which helped a lot Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

I was not able to upload multiple files using the uploads. I makes a little creepy when I try to upload files one by one. When using the site from mobile I face some difficulty in access things. Other than these two concerns the PhythonAnywhere is a fantastic tools for creating and running the code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to create, store and run basic python programs from anywhere without installing anything on my local machine. Users who have exhausting storage can use this tool to create and run the programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

I am using PythonAnywhere for my Python programming class for two years as suggested by the textbook that I used. I have a good experience with its user interfaces. The student is also enjoying it. It is literally anywhere because you can use it on your phone, tablet, or desktop. I also love their customer support. They are very friendly to accommodate my needs as a teacher/professor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

There is some room for improvement for PythonAnywhere. The downtime of the PythonAnywhere is pretty disturbing after I promote it to my student or while we are in class. This is my major dislike. Other than that, PythonAnywhere is superb. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

PythonAnywhere solves the availability of Python programming practice. By having PythonAnywhere in the class, it means the student has access to it anytime and anywhere. It also solves the problem of the installation of Python on every device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

Since PythonAnywhere is a cloud platform via which one can run their Python program without installing Python on their system and setting it up, it makes it so much easy to run Python programs from ANYWHERE!

The key highlight is that one can run Python programs from any device and any operating system just with the help of the internet.

One of the best parts is that people who have poor computers or computers that do not have much processing power can also now run complex and resource consuming python programs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

The user interface is less intuitive, updates to the user interface can be made to make it feel more intuitive.

Does not provide support to upload multiple files at once or upload a whole folder Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

For running any Python program the Python packages are required to be first installed and then a small configuration setup is required. Moreover, after the setup is completed the programs which are complex and are resource-consuming could run very slowly on the lower-end computers or might even crash the computer.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

PythonAnywhere has many cons, technically. It provides us with many development options like running and validating Python scripts and building Django, flask web apps. And Its User-interface is smooth like even a newbie using PythonAnywhere can understand the flow of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

PythonAnywhere is such an application where finding flaws is a difficult job. Even though it provides some free access but it is limited, and the pricing plans are a little unaffordable for small firms. The best thing is it provides its users with free hosting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

PythonAnywhere has made my life as a developer easier by giving all the flexibility to build, run and host the application over the cloud. It also provides us with the database facility like MySQL and Postgres Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

Being able to run Python code directly in the cloud is an excellent option. In addition, being able to test the same code with different versions of Python greatly facilitates programming time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

It should have better integration with different development tools, which would be very useful and great. For the rest, it offers many excellent options in terms of basic services such as additional databases. But, apart from MySQL and Postgres, an alternative would be MongoDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of our functions on Lambda (AWS) we run in Python. So having an environment where we can run the code and test in new versions of Python validated that part of the code should be updated is a useful help. We can even test different variants of the same code before implementing the function in lambda. Saving effort and costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

The best thing about PythonAnywhere is that it is very simple to use and set up. It helps to host Flask and Django projects in the public domain. It helps to setup different environments for development, QA testing, UAT and deployment. It also reduces lots of DevOps work and helps developers to focus on desirable goals. Pre-installed libraries help to improve performance and help in reusability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

The platform's testing can be challenging; it tends to consume more memory. Code pushing requires GIT or some code repository in PythonAnywhere. Also, all errors are caught while the program is running, even syntax mistakes. we need to fix all the mistakes to get the output. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PythonAnywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

PythonAnywhere solved my deployment and setup problem. We don't need to configure or maintain a web server- everything is set up and ready to go. It is easy to scale as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
