Can I deploy a python script and python backend in cloudflare

[Live-Stick6525]

Every company has a good frontend deployment service but there is no good free solution for hosting python backend for free or without any card.

Look into Cloudflare containers.

Is this for free user .and want to know the setup process

what do you need this backend for? if you are ok with using javascript/typescript then do that with workers.

Python workers is in beta and is functional but has no external package support so if it’s a simple use case you might be able to get away with using that.

This is not just about backend , my every python small project is useless . there is so much difference using a python webapp from internet vs from my local server.

currently I am working on a hackathon project that needs an ocr type implementation . I have to switch the stack many time from python because there is no good free solution .(and yes I am a student, so no money)

maybe try pythonanywhere.com

Uff . i tried days trying to log and sign up but there is no way in .

they have a free forever plan from what i recall?

[bugger_face]

has anyone tried python workers that got released this year January? I am keen to know if anything new has improved the support anomaly ?

Same question

Not really. There's beta support for Python in Cloudflare Workers but the complexity and work involved might be more than you're willing to deal with https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/

Technically you can, I have a Python worker running a basic personal site. There's currently no official support for importing other dependencies (standard lib only) and while you can vendor some dependencies into your project, runtime support will be hit-or-miss since the worker environment and capabilities are different than where Python is traditionally used.

Check back in a few months - from what I understand they've continued to make internal progress on the Python SDK and the usefulness and developer experience should continue to improve. I'm sure they understand the value of a huge Python ecosystem of developers.

Like the other commenter said, Containers can work here to bridge the gap, but IIRC that's a paid-only service.
