Hello Ryan, the task you describe sounds ideal for Google App Engine, which does have an ongoing free quota you'd likely fit in -- *except* that GAE (in the standard runtimes, those with free quotas) does not currently support Python 3 -- you'd have to port your program to Python 2.7. (Also, you cannot use libraries that are not pure Python, except for those GAE itself supplies, as listed at https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/tools/libraries27 ; pure-Python libraries are fine and you can add them to your project; I can't help with this part since you tell us nothing about what libraries, if any, you're using).
I realize that Python 3 is a superior tool, but, 2.7 is not so bad either, and currently still more widespread in most field (my new book, http://www.oreilly.com/go/python45 , covers both 2.7 and 3.5, and chapter 25, still not complete in the current Early Release [but if you get that you'll get all updates as they become ready], in particular, covers how to port between the two versions and how to write code modules that can run well in both versions).
