Wooey for pythonanywhere.com

A web ui for python scripts

Wooey is a easy way to get your scripts up on the web for routine data analysis, file processing, or anything else.

This is my demo. Pythonanywhere does not support celery. therefore, scripts will not executed.

Installation

Read this before you start.

1. Edit user_settings.py file in directory

ALLOWED_HOSTS = (
    'localhost',
    '127.0.0.1',
    ".pythonanywhere.com")

2. Git clone at pythonanywhere bash console

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/<your-git-repo-name>.git

Beware of inside of < and >.

3. Install wooey at pythonanywhere bash console

$ cd <your-git-repo-name>
$ virtualenv --python=python3 myvenv

It takes a time.
