Python and AWS.
I have written a small python app for ecommerce.
As python was new to me it was a bit of a steep learning curve but got there in the end.
So next to upload it to Azure or AWS.
My free time was up with Azure so went the AWS route.
Downloaded AWS toolkit and input credentials.
Project uploaded fine with green status and no errors but wouldnt run.
So tried the python template from VIsual Studio but same problem.
Did some research and it seems AWS likes application.py not runserver.py as in VS template.
So back to ecommerce solution.
Worked out AWS didnt like my requirements.txt so had to remove all entries except Flask and add them as I needed them.
It was especially fussy about pymssql and I found I had to allow "all traffic" in both directions or just got error screen.
Finally got something displayed despite AWS saying app problems were severe !
So conclusion is AWS is very slow 100KBPS upload speed, very complicated, bloated and uneasy to use.
Error messages are virtually none existent and sometimes wrong.
