Storing Python scripts on a web server
Following on from my previous question, if I have some kind of hosting, how can I put a python script on it that I can run from there? Do I need to do something in order to run / install something? EDIT-Clarification - I would like to be able to download a script that does things online - no data is stored on my computer. Then I need to schedule it to run once a day.

You need to make sure your host system supports Python.
You can ask them about it.
To run a script when it is there, you can proceed in several ways, depending on what you want to do.
You can force your language on the server side to call it (i.e. from the backend of the web page), or if you have shell access on the computer, you can invoke it manually.
Btw, very often hosting providers provide a scheduling tool (i.e. an interface to crontab or at) through the hosting plan admin panel that you can use to run your script.
First, you should ask your host and check the availability of Python.
