From the traceback message I guess that your code is trying to start a server -- that would not work in terms of being visible to the external world (the same for the console and the task). What do you mean by being able to run the code in the console? Is the code doing what you intended it to in the console but not in the task?

Yes, the code works in the console but fails when i use the same thing with a task, the program is using Google's api to upload a youtube video

If it's trying to start a server on some specific port, then whether or not it will run will depend on whether someone else is already using the port in question. So if there's some way to tell the library that you're usng to use a different port, that should help. However, given that the server that it is starting will be inaccessible from outside PythonAnywhere, and also given that it works in a console even though the server is inaccessible, perhaps that server is not an essential part of what the library is trying to do? There might be some kind of configuration for the library you can do that will tell it to not bother with the server side portion.
