Hi Friends,  
I need to run a Python Script on cloud 24x7, for free  
I used Replit, but the server disconnects as soon as I close my browser tabs.

Please suggest the free or the cheapest solution.

**--------- Option 2**

Here are some ways to run Python on the cloud:

- **Google Cloud**

Use Cloud Shell to run your app, install dependencies, and run the Gunicorn HTTP server. You can also use Cloud Shell Editor for IDE support.

- **Container Registry**

Use the Container Registry to move your code from your PC to a VM Instance. You can then deploy the image to GCE and create a free virtual machine.

- **Virtual environment**

Set up a virtual environment for Python and install packages there. You can create a virtual environment by typing `$ virtualenv -p python3 venv`.

- **Secure copy**

Use the secure copy command to upload existing code from your machine.

Python is a popular language for cloud computing because it’s simple, readable, and has a strong ecosystem. Google Cloud has tools to help Python developers build cloud-native applications.
