<p><strong><a href="http://www.picloud.com/">PiCloud</a></strong></p> An interesting twist on cloud computing for Python. “import cloud; cloud.call(my_function, arguments)” serialises my_function and its arguments, pushes it up to one of their EC2 servers and hands you back a job ID which you can poll (or block on) for a response. They suggest using it for long running tasks such as web crawling or image processing. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cloud">cloud</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/cloud-computing">cloud-computing</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/picloud">picloud</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/python">python</a></p>
