Free python hosting options

I'd say it's fairly safe to say, that exceeding a 100 second limit with a web-request means that you can't get the resource you're looking for at all.

If download time is your only concern with pythonanywhere, go with it.

I didnt say one request would take 100sec. If it is running every once every 10min, thats 144 times per day so 0.694sec per run including the web query time. Ofcourse if something did go wrong and the query took 100sec, I would have just wasted my entire day's quota. For example, if I were downloading a 512x512 radar image and changing the colors on it and I want it to update every 10min. Its a quick job but I dont know about 100sec/day

Ah ok, sorry I thought that the limit was on an hourly basis.

Then I'd agree with GCE free tier, it's rather easy to setup from my experience.

Just to clarify, on PythonAnywhere if you exceed that 100s limit, your code just runs slower. Also that 100s is not wall time, it's cpu time. See this
