PiCloud. An interesting twist on cloud computing for Python. “import cloud; cloud.call(my_function, arguments)” serialises my_function and its arguments, pushes it up to one of their EC2 servers and hands you back a job ID which you can poll (or block on) for a response. They suggest using it for long running tasks such as web crawling or image processing.
