Good. Be aware, though, that running a program on the public internet is a very complicated thing. Partly this is because your program needs to be on a web site, which itself needs to play nicely with the rest of the internet. And, an even more important part, is that the internet is a very wild place with a continual noise of malicious parties trying to compromise any site. So you need to do a lot of things just to defend against that. All of which is to say: There is a huge increase in complexity from “my simple program which accepts input and produces output”, to a website that will do the same thing. See the community guides on web frameworks, which let you wrap your feature in a whole lot of code that will take care of the “be a website” job <URL:https://wiki.python.org/moin/WebFrameworks/>. For general purpose use, I recommend Django which has excellent help <URL:https://www.djangoproject.com/>. -- \ “If sharing a thing in no way diminishes it, it is not rightly | `\ owned if it is not shared.” —Augustine of Hippo (354–430 CE) | _o__) | Ben Finney -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
