I read somewhere that Channels cannot run on PythonAnyWhere. The specific thread was asking about Channel_layers.

So my question is, can the package Channels generally run on PythonAnyWhere? I don't need the channels_layer or redis. I just want to use it to maintain a websocket connection.

Websockets do not work on PythonAnywhere.

That sucks! I am enjoying PythonAnyWhere, I am hoping there is consideration for such an important feature.

We are working on that.
