I wrote a Python script which does some nice stuff. It reads some inputs from an excel file and stores the results in another excel file. My plan is: I can make a web based form from which can be used to input the python program. I can make the code but how to run my program on a shared hosting platform? I am using modules like xlrd, xlwt, pysqlite, pyzipcode etc. What are my alternatives? My hosting: Godaddy basic shared hosting. It doesn't come with python pre-installed.

  • This question is way to broad for StackOverflow. But here's two pointers: You'll need to decide on a web framework for Python. I'd suggest having a look at [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/). For hosting, you may want to give [PythonAnywhere](https://www.pythonanywhere.com) a try. – Lukas Graf Jun 09 '15 at 17:46

Yes you can. For general information please see read this If you want to know how, you have to more specific information. However, if you cannot/dont want to provide more information want to read some related questions.That one, this one or in the wiki here

But, before doing getting to work, you have to install python on your webhosting. You can read more about that here and here. However, if you use modules which do not come naturally with python, you have to install them as well.

  • Hi @Stophface, I checked. My web hosting account doesn't support Python. A more specific question is: provided that I am using variety of modules in my python code and my hosting account doesn't support Python, how can I use my code for webpage based applications? – Karvy1 Jun 09 '15 at 18:00

    @Karvy1 Then you might want to change your webhosting account, upgrade it or use this one https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ – four-eyes Jun 10 '15 at 16:37
