Using the destination option './' in pythonanywhere gives me an error saying the directory is not empty. If I use the destination option in any folder, for example if i just create a test folder and try
hg clone https://[email protected]/me/myproject ./test I will see a test folder with the mybitbucketproject created inside of it like so: ./test/mybitbucketproject Whats strange is that this only happens in pythonanywhere, trying this on my home pc I never see a 'mybitbucketproject' folder created whether I use a destination option or not. Same exact command, different results. It looks like I can just accept the fact that pythonanywhere will always create this extra folder, go into pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py and edit the project_home line to always include the expected extra folder. for example, change: project_home = u'/home/mypythonanywherefolder/web2py/'. to: project_home = u'/home/mypythonanywherefolder/mybitbucketproject/web2py/'. I'm not sure if a hack like this is safe in the long run. I still don't even know how difficult pythonanywhere is to get a custom domain working to replace the http://myproject.pythonanywhere.com/ domain. I have to upgrade my account and start paying before I can try changing domains. My confidence in pythonanywhere is pretty low at the moment. Paying them money doesn't seem like a very good idea, but I really need to get this site up and I've hit a wall with the google app engine route as well. I've asked similar questions on the gae board but haven't gotten anything back, so I may have to throw this hack in and see if I can get pythonaywhere working. I really don't care where the site ends up, I just want it up and working. Surely there has got to be an easier way? Deploying a website is painful.
