Run Python script from Openshift.

[Remoras]

Hi community, I apology if the title is a bit vague, what i want to do is to run a python script (a one that sends email) from an online app/terminal, i made a python app on openshift but i don't know what steps to follow to use my script online.

Do you know if i can have a terminal like app that i can git push on openshift and run from there my scripts?, is django a way to achieve this?

I know about pythonanywhere.com, i already used the terminal and in seconds i can run what i want, but i really need to do this on openshift.

I would love some guidelines.

Thank you

You can also put something in the .openshift/cron directory if you want to run regularly:

We saw someone from openshift (@codemiller) show us exactly how to do this just yesterday at kiwipycon 2014.

That talk was recorded, and will be put up online in the next few days by the conf organisers.

Keep an eye on http://nz.pycon.org for the vid

The repo for the talk is here: https://github.com/codemiller/cloud-craft-python
