What is the easiest way to run python scripts in a cloud server?

Question

I have a web crawling python script that takes hours to complete, and is infeasible to run in its entirety on my local machine. Is there a convenient way to deploy this to a sim

Answer 1

As an alternative to the solutions already given, I would suggest Heroku. You can not only deploy easily a website, but also scripts for bots to run.

Basic account is free and is pretty flexible.

This blog entry, this one and this video contain practical examples of how to make it work.
