Hello, I have been learning python using Anaconda and Jupyter notebooks on my Windows laptop. I am starting a project which will involve a website element, so I'd like to do it on Dreamhost, where I have hosted space. The information on Python on Dreamhost is not helpful to a novice like myself. It seems that I need to install python 3, whatever modules I want, and a "virtual environment" which I don't know what it is or why I need one (their explanation does not make it any clearer). The project will eventually involve getting data from the web via python, putting it in a MySQL database, creating a web page from that, and user input from the page that also connects to the database.

What I'm trying to figure out is: what do I need to get running on Dreamhost or, if Dreamhost is just not right for the task, what alternatives are recommended.

Thanks for any advice!

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.
