Saw this recently:
(Forgot to mention earlier that I saw it via a retweet by @Phaseit.)
Learn how to code a Facebook app in 20 minutes on PythonAnywhere.
I had blogged about PythonAnywhere a couple of times before. As per the above link, it now seems to support hosting web apps. The link is about creating Facebook apps with PythonAnywhere. I'm not a Facebook or Facebook apps fan myself (or of create-something-in-20-minutes demos a la Ruby on Rails :), but the hosting technique is probably generic and so may be usable for non-Facebook web apps as well. (Caveat: I need to check that.)

Google adds 34-button scientific calculator with voice support to Google Search
Google added a large scientific calculator to their flagship Google Search.
Seen here on TechCrunch:
http://techcrunch.com/2012/07/25/google-gets-scientific-adds-a-voice-enabled-34-button-calculator-to-desktop-and-mobile-search/
I tried it out a little, not including the voice stuff. It worked some. Great work, guys!
My comment to Google:
How about just integrating Python into the Google Search box? You could still keep the GUI calculator as a separate option. Then even more complex calculations could be done easily.
Only partly kidding ...
They could use or write something like PythonAnywhere to achieve this.
Or even use the Unix bc command:
Hilary Mason already created a bc Twitter bot which does just that.
Dear Google, don't go all GUI on me ...
Inspired by nature.

PythonAnywhere team eats its own dog food
By Vasudev Ram
Seen via a tweet by @Phaseit:
Interesting article by Cameron Laird on how actually developing in the cloud (not just deploying and running your apps in the cloud) can be of benefit. The article mentions that the team at PythonAnywhere, the Python cloud product which I had blogged about some time ago, actually does all their development in the cloud, using PythonAnywhere itself.

Resolver's PythonAnywhere, browser-server development tool
By Vasudev Ram
dancingbison.com | @vasudevram | jugad2.blogspot.com
PythonAnywhere from Resolver Systems is a new type of client-server Python development tool. It is not yet available, but you can sign up for the free private beta starting in a few weeks, at the preceding link for PythonAnywhere in this paragraph. Resolver Systems is also the company behind the Resolver One spreadsheet, which allows you to enter expressions in Python, and related products - see their products page for more information.
Some of the features and benefits cited for it (excerpted from their page) are:
- "a combined Python console and development environment that displays in your web browser and runs on our servers"
- "easy to create and run Python programs in the cloud"
- "Start work on your desktop machine, then later pick up from where you left off by accessing exactly the same session from your tablet"
- "When you print things out, instead of getting simple text, you get something you can interact with. Dictionaries and objects become expandable trees, ..."
- "If you're called away from your computer, you can log in from anywhere else and pick up exactly where you left off, with exactly the same command line and all of your variables and data just the way they were" --- I like this feature.
- "PythonAnywhere runs on super-powerful servers hosted by Amazon EC2, and you can take full advantage for that. Without paying a penny, you can run simple Python programs to help you learn. For heavy-duty processing, you only pay for what you use"
- "PythonAnywhere is preconfigured with loads of useful libraries, like NumPy, SciPy, Mechanize, BeautifulSoup, and many others"
- "Basic access to our servers, if you just want to try out Python, go through the tutorials, or do a few calculations, is completely free, and you don't even have to sign in"
Other things cost, on a pay-per-use basis.
Seems worth checking out when available.
