Setting up/Installing playwright on pythonanywhere?

If the problem is about permissions, can I make a ticket to have the access required?

thanks.

some logs for context:

My guess would be that either you're hitting a disk quota limit (free accounts have only 512MiB disk, which is unlikely to be enough for chromium) or an allowlist issue (free accounts can only access sites on this list. The Internet access limitations would probably make playwright of limited value anyway, so I would recommend you check how much disk space a local install of it uses, then upgrade to a paid account -- say, a hacker one but with extra disk space if the 1GiB that that plan has by default isn't enough.

In a free account, you're probably not going to be able to download the latest version of Chromium for your playwright code, both due to the restricted Internet access that free accounts have, and I suspect due to the limited disk space too. Also, you won't be able to do much in the way of web-scraping, because the Internet access for free accounts is limited to our allowlist of official public APIs.
