Hello it seems that I need a few libraries to be able to host my app's functionality online. My application uses the package ssdeep which needs the fuzzy library and python-dev. I can't use apt in bash to install them myself because there is no sudo. I get a CompileError command x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc failed with exit status 1 when I try to pip install ssdeep.

We'll take a look and see if we can add them next time we do a server image update. Not sure how soon we'll be able to do that though...

We do have gcc on the machines, so you may be able to find a way to download and compile ssdeep and libfuzzy-dev yourself, manually, but it does require knowing a bit about c compilation (which is still a bit of a mistery to me!)

Hi,

my application uses python pisa library to create pdfs. can i have this library made available?

Hi there,

We can work on putting it into our next server image. However, in the mean time, please look at our help pages about how to install pip modules on PythonAnywhere.
