In tarpit but console dies repeatedly with known good script

Hello,

I'm attempting to run a small portion of a much larger script for testing purposes and when attempting to run the functions in question I am not able to get the console to start. It attempts to, but then repeatedly goes into a loop of starting/stopping the console and never accomplishes the task. I understand I'm in the tarpit and fine with it going slower, but it doesn't seem to ever finish. It doesn't appear to actually try to run the script either.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks!

Consoles are ephemeral by design. We have Always on tasks for long-running jobs. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/AlwaysOnTasks/
