I recently ran across PythonAnywhere: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/
PA allows you to run various versions of Python with lots of modules already installed: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/batteries_included/ This is an ideal platform for creating web apps: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/wiki/ Naturally, PyQt is *not* installed in the PA servers. Here is an exchange between me and Glenn Jones, one of the PA people: QQQ EKR: Leo's code is separated into a gui-independent core that calls wrapper code that drives gui-dependent code. At present, Leo uses the PyQt (4 or 5). I assume that it would be pointless to install PyQt on your servers... GJ: Yeah. It would probably be pointless - There is no surface for the GUI library to draw on, so there is no way to render the widgets. QQQ So substantial work would be required to make Leo work on PA. However, I did do a git clone of leo-editor in PA, and afterwords python launchLeo.py --version did work as expected in the console. I even went as far as to upgrade the cursesGui.py plugin so it crashes less. However, making the curses plugin truly useful seems like a big project with little payoff. An alternative might be to use the leoBridge module somehow... In short, PA allows anyone to run Python programs from the browser. It's another way of providing ready-to-use *complete* python environments. The people seem smart and friendly. If I ever do a web version of Leo I would certainly use PythonAnywhere.
