This post tells you, how to deploy and execute python code written using web2py framework in
pythonanywhere web hosting service kind of cloud for python.
First write any sample code using web2py framework. Sample codes you can check my previous posts like getting started with web2py , blog app using web2py
Once you have completed the simple project, then we need to deploy the same using the cloud.
Web2py can be deployed any web hosting services, now we will look how we can deploy using https://www.pythonanywhere.com/

My case my url will be http://siva82k.pythonanywhere.com, if you try to click on this you can redirected to your application.
Now it’s time to deploy our existing code into pythonanywhere site. First go to our application, where we have written our code, click on pack all as shown in below image.
