Anthony, you've made it so easy! Thank you very much for this tutorial.

[@farhanhaikhan7307]

Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Could get the app running sometime later because im a Flask Noob. Great Work altogether!

[@novaria]

Awesome. Working for a client of mine who's hosting on PythonAnywhere. This helps getting started with a time-efficient way of re-deploying when adding changes. Thanks!

[@AdventuresWithQuinn]

I can't seen to get my app to update when I update the files - how did you do it?

[@khalifashuaib1168]

Thank you so much!!!!! I tried deploying my app using heroku but it wasn't behaving like it would on my localhost. Great tutorial!

[@jefboy28]

you are the god of tutorials, thanks so much Anthony!

[@jimratliff]

This was great! And I don't know what I would had to have done if you hadn't highlighted the difference when using the app-factory structure. That's precisely my situation, and knowing how to handle that was a huge benefit.

[@mrpringtwo4213]

Hey how did you get the KZbin certification without any subscribers ? Thanks

[@pratik037]

Thank you so much for this. Helped a lot for a begineer like me!

[@verygood5377]

This is excellent video. Thank you so much again Anthony !! You're always clear about the steps. I tested it with your other authentication/authorization app successfully. One difference is that I didn't even have to make any edits of the env variables. Can anyone test it and tell if you have the same experience?

[@mauricioblaster]

what's the advantage of your method comparing to the standard configuration, i.e., selecting Flask in the pythonanywhere menu?

[@luasluckas]

Thanks man! The app factory part was very helpful

[@TheVSI]

thank you so much, ive deployed my intrusion detection flask app

[@rushas]

Good video. I particularly liked the app factory usage. Please, would you consider to do a Flask Frozen tutorial? There isn't any video on YT for SSG for Flask. Thanks

[@piotrlazecki3948]

Hi Anthony, huge thanks ! It's perfect job. Could you also make a video about python anywhere with nginx and uwsgi ?

[@user-rs6pi8wy1z]

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for!

[@howards5205]

Hi Anthony. Thanks for a great video. Just curious: Is there a reason why you chose manual configuration over Flask configuration? Are there any benefits?

[@victordvickie]

You are messiah lol followed and deployed my blockchain crypto app with MySQL u were one such of good yt i love now

[@adh9354]

If my env is already white and i have an automatically installed .gitignore file in the virtual env's folder do i have to create it again outside of that folder or move to the next step ?

[@jayhu6075]

Great explanation. For my is this a useful information. Keep going. Stay healthy dear in the U.S.

[@prettyprinted]

Thanks for watching! You stay safe as well.

[@jonathansum9084]

Can I do an upload image file and do a flask code to do image classifier stuff with this free account? I mean...can I do it dynamically rather than static deploy like the one in Github

[@daksheshsharma1747]

How can we modify the files after we have deployed our project ?

[@sentientplatypus8740]

Hello, Thanks for the tutorial. I really appreciate it. however, I keep getting this error: Error running WSGI application TypeError: __call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'send'

Hey, I just wanted to ask, I am having trouble deploying my deep learning REST API on heroku as it limits the slug size to 500mb, mine exceeds 700mb due to tensorflow and model weight size. Can I deploy the deep learning api here without any size limit ?

hey for some reason my bash console uses python 2.7 meaning none of my requirements are able to install to the proper versions. Is there any way to fix this? edit: nvm, I had to use pip3 install

[@fernandocanepari3795]

Thanks! Works like a charm!

[@artem_teliuk]

Hey! Thank you for the video, you helped me a lot! )

[@ChupoCro]

What about the packages installed by the linter? These packages will be listed in *requirements.txt* when using *freeze* and will then be installed on the server which is not what should be done. For example, these are all the packages installed when using *pylint* linter and they all should be removed from the requirements: astroid backports.functools-lru-cache colorama configparser enum34 futures isort lazy-object-proxy mccabe pylint singledispatch six wrapt

[@kashisethia8111]

Hey Anthony, many thanks for all your videos, helps me a lot. Could you also make a video about using the db from Flask-SQLAlchemy outside de flask context? I'm trying to have a worker which is a scheduler using apscheduler library for monitoring my database and send emails using some rules, but when I tries to run a query it trows error RuntimeError: No application found. Either work inside a view function or push an application context.

[@prettyprinted]

Hey, that's a good idea for a topic. I'll see what I can do.

i believe thats a package you need to install and is called python-dotenv

[@saipriyakaminwar1189]

what should i do to sort this error? RuntimeError: The session is unavailable because no secret key was set. Set the secret_key on the application to something unique and secret.

[@arsensaifutdinov4485]

add this app.config["SECRET_KEY"] = "random_string"

[@helmialfathseptiana6383]

hay Anthony, Great video! anyway, I have some problem with flask, wtform n MySQL. in Update route, the querry is Ok but it returned different value, do you have some video or clue about that?

[@victordvickie]

Be more specific

[@waleedmashrequi5173]

Check the function u used to update cause if query is ok then the function must have some mistake.

[@juandavidosornojaramillo3680]

good video, thaks, great job

[@looploop6612]

can you show how to set up pythonanywhere mysql as well?

[@prettyprinted]

I definitely will!

[@MiniAishwarya]

Can we deploy a flask without a virtual environment?

[@codesniffer588]

yes, virtual environments just isolate your app.

[@binarysouljour]

anthony.. can you show tutorials on kivy?... and creating hybrid mobile apps with ionic and flask for backend?... waiting for ur reply

[@prettyprinted]

I haven't looked at Kivy but I'll put it on my todo list.

Hey I have made a flask-socketio chat app which allows multiple room chat, it also has a database that stores the messages in a given room. I deployed it on pythonanywhere and the issue is that for a second user who accesses the site the site takes for ever to load , I.e. the response times are too big. How do I resolve this

[@Smoonwalkerm]

Please add a video of deploy fastapi into python anywhere!!

[@DucaTech]

What's the advantage of this over something like Heroku or Digital Ocean?

[@vatsalaykhobragade]

Python anywhere gives GUI way of deploying web apps while in heroku you need to have knowledge of how to use git and terminal.

[@prettyprinted]

I think it's much easier to use. You can definitely outgrow it, but it works well for a lot of small projects.

Thanks bro

[@rdubitsk]

Great job. Would you say python based apps are harder to deploy than others? I use flask because I have a lot of python code but wondering if that makes it harder to deploy.

[@xswooshx]

Hi. I'm not OP, but I would say that it depends on the platform. With Heroku, there's a Python package that helps the process out, for example. PA looks a little more involved, but not by much. And that bit of extra set up time is reflected in PA's lower cost bracket vs other host platforms.

[@rverm1000]

need videos leading up to deploying your app

No module named 'dotenv'

[@prettyprinted]

Make sure you install it in your virtual environment.

[@vatsalaykhobragade]

Use " pip install python-dotenv "

[@nevergotfat]

people who dislike even after everything is right need to atleast justify their actions.

[@roostertechchan]

Far too much config. Would’t it be better if you start on that hosting from scratch?

[@prettyprinted]

Creating your own server will always require more setup and configuration. And you have to actively manage it afterwards. With Python Anywhere, you only need to spend 10 minutes in the beginning.

[@kaplansedat]

you make it clear. its not about you its about community and current state of python for web dev. And that video was make decide not make web dev on python. python is on a deserved hype. everybody talking about it. everybody starting coding with it. it should be much easier. industry going backward. php implementation is much more easier. much affordable to find php hosting. Web development make languages shine. look everyone was get fun of javascript till node.js. python will stay as a glue and pedagogic language I think.

[@Techn0v0r3]

Ok, great! So, what will you do with settings.py with tokens when you deploy on github? it's no safe, u know) You deploy all your files to github, man. Your video very useless for all people in the world. Because it's not unique. Did you make it to get people stuck?
