how run few apps bots with flask on pythonanywhere

i made viber bot on python. its working fine. now i am trying to run few bots on one webserver. the first bot is working but the second one not.

app = Flask(__name__)


app2 = Flask('app2')
@app.route('/', methods=['POST'])
def incoming():
    viber_request = viber.parse_request(request.get_data())
    if isinstance(viber_request, ViberMessageRequest):
         viber.send_messages(viber_request.sender.id,[TextMessage(text='test1')] )

@app2.route('/ff', methods=['POST'])
def incoming2():
    viber_request = viber.parse_request(request.get_data())
    if isinstance(viber_request, ViberMessageRequest):
         viber.send_messages(viber_request.sender.id,[TextMessage(text='test2')] )

def set_webhook(viber):
    viber.unset_webhook()
    time.sleep(1)
    viber.set_webhook('https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com')

def set_webhook2(viber2):
    viber2.unset_webhook()
    time.sleep(1)
    viber2.set_webhook('https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com/ff')



if __name__ == "__main__":
    scheduler = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
    scheduler.enter(5, 1, set_webhook, (viber,))
    t = threading.Thread(target=scheduler.run)
    t.start()

    scheduler = sched.scheduler(time.time, time.sleep)
    scheduler.enter(5, 1, set_webhook2, (viber2,))
    t = threading.Thread(target=scheduler.run)
    t.start()


    app.run(host='https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com', port=8443, debug=True)
    app2.run(host='https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com/ff', port=8080, debug=True)

first bot responding with test1 but second one silent. how to run few bots on one webserver properly ? Both tokens are correct

I'm actually surprised that either one is working -- code that is inside an if __name__ == "__main__" block won't be run in a production uWSGI environment like PythonAnywhere. Perhaps you set the webhook for the first bot somewhere outside the web environment, for example from a console?

Anyway -- is there a particular reason why you're using the scheduler to call set_webhook and set_webhook2? You should just be able to call them at module level, eg. put calls like

set_webhook()
set_webhook2()

...outside the if __name__... statement.

thanks for reply! you right it was working from console now i made :

def set_webhook(viber):
    viber.unset_webhook()
    time.sleep(1)
    viber.set_webhook('https://admiralf.pythonanywhere.com')

def set_webhook2(viber2):
    viber.unset_webhook()
    time.sleep(1)
    viber2.set_webhook('https://admiralf.pythonanywhere.com/f')


set_webhook(viber)
set_webhook2(viber2)
if __name__ == "__main__":


    app.run(host='https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com', port=8443, debug=True)#, ssl_context=context)
    app2.run(host='https://myhost.pythonanywhere.com/f', port=8080, debug=True)#, ssl_context=context)

what is viber and viber2?

Staff conrad | 4017 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Jan. 2, 2019, 1:53 a.m. | permalink

@conrad 

viber2 = Api(BotConfiguration(
  name='PythonSampleBot1',
  avatar='https://pp.userapi.com/c849424/v849424201/e62ce/b4gUG562vZw.jpg',

viber = Api(BotConfiguration(

both tokens are correct

admiralf | 3 posts | Jan. 2, 2019, 7:20 a.m. | permalink

It really looks to me like you're getting a timeout from viber when you're setting up the webhook. I don't know enough about their service to know why that might be. Try contacting their support.

Staff glenn | 6451 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Jan. 2, 2019, 3:11 p.m. | permalink

@glenn the strange thing is that first bot is working when I am running the console . so if that was connected with Viber server somehow I guess first bot should not work either .

admiralf | 3 posts | Jan. 2, 2019, 3:29 p.m. | permalink

All I have to go on is what you are posting and that shows a timeout exception. Though I have noticed that in set_webhook2, you are unsetting a webhook on viber and not viber2.

Staff glenn | 6451 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Jan. 2, 2019, 3:33 p.m. | permalink

i tried all the variations with set and unset

Beloved premium user weblabla | 6 posts | Jan. 2, 2019, 3:41 p.m. | permalink

i have no idea what to do else (( @glenn anyway thank you for your help

Beloved premium user weblabla | 6 posts | Jan. 2, 2019, 3:43 p.m. | permalink

I think Glenn is right, you should probably contact Viber support and find out why it's timing out when it tries to connect to their servers. One thing that comes to mind -- maybe if you have one copy of your code running in a console and one in side a website that you're set up on the "Web" tab, they might interfere with each other? To at least eliminate that possibility, you can make sure that you're not running it in a console (you can use the "Running processes" page on the "Consoles" page to do that) and then reload the website from the "Web" tab to see if it works then.

Oh, and one thing I just spotted -- the timeout says that it's coming from Java, so that would definitely be something coming from the Viber side -- we don't support Java in website code, so the message must be coming from some Java code running on Viber's servers.

Staff giles | 9690 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | Jan. 3, 2019, 3:44 p.m. | permalink

I think that pythonanywhere wrote "java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: Total timeout elapsed" because in a FREE account uses ONLY one thread: this script can not send a request and confirm it at the same time.

deleted-user-5776464 | 1 post | July 1, 2019, 9:03 a.m. | permalink

That's not quite correct. You cannot start threads in a web app at all, the Freeness of the account done not matter.

Staff glenn | 6451 posts | PythonAnywhere staff | July 1, 2019, 12:06 p.m. | permalink

don't work at all! viber cannot make app.run with any data like as app.run(url,port,debug). https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/Flask/ only as app.run()
