python-runner-web

Node Python Runner Web

Supported by:

A web server that executes python code by request. Just POST your python code against the Server and get the stdout of its execution.

Also, you can use this as a library to initialize the server when you feel to.

Useful to bridge different languages.

Be careful not to use this on production because all the python code will be executed.
