Any updates on using Celery or APScheduler?

Are these supported yet on Python Anywhere? If not, what are the options?

We're not supporting them yet. Here's a possible workaround that we suggest -- https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/AsyncInWebApps/.

Using the Scheduled Tasks page may work. Any tips on debugging?

Can I "run now", check log files for results, etc.?

Yes -- make sure that you're printing the information you need, so it's shown in the log.

I see the log but how can I "run now" to speed up debugging?

No -- scheduled task will run on schedule. If you want a constanly running task, consider using Always-on task. Of course you can experiment with the script in a console, which would be more convenient and schedule it when it's ready to go.
