Python hosting - free?

    Does anyone know where I can get some free basic hosting that'll allow me to run some python 2.x?
    I dont need a database. Its basically just a python script, and XML file and a library ("bottle") that is being used as the application server. If the host has a replacement for bottle, I might be able to work around that too.

    I have it working on my localhost fine but as its a college project, I was hoping to have it demonstratable in college without the need to lug around my laptop.

    Also, I dont leave any PC/laptop turned on at home when I leave the house, so them LogMeIn and DynaDNS solutions probably wouldnt be the best.

    PS, I already have paid hosting with a provider, but as the script doesnt work there, I'm taking it as they dont support python. Theres no mention of it on their FAQs either. I dont want to pay for more hosting, so this is why I'm HOPING theres a free alternative. Even one of those crappy ad-supported ones, as I'll be scraping the output anyway, to display on a mobile device so nobody will be seeing the page itself anyway.

    Thanks for any help.

    College may provide you with hosting, if its needed.

    You could leave your laptop in sleep mode, and wake on lan?

    Python 2.x or 3.x?

    Someone with a VPS might be able to help you. :)

    Google app engine, although it used Django, not Bottle.
