Free service to host python code 24/7

IcyCoder

I am looking for a good free trusted host to run my Scratch API python script that make Bridge Variables.

It must be:

Reliable enough that if a password is in the code I do not have to worry about it.
Able to run without my computer on about 24/7

Does one even exist if not me and @jokebookservice1 have another idea.

You should probably mention that it is a Python script…

Maybe make an account especially for this service so it doesn't matter?

Yes I have one

Both Heroku and OpenShift seem to be what you're after, but I don't think either of them do 24/7 for free.

You probably won't find anything that's both free and runs 24/7…
Maybe run it on a Pi or something?

That was the backup plan

I'm sure you can get a friend to home host something for you then.

Heroku and Openshift are both free and reasonably big/run by big people. Openshift's done by Red Hat, who do various enterprise/Linux stuff, and Heroku's owned by Salesforce, who are probably not gonna sell all your information.

On Heroku what does it mean by goes to sleep after 30 min of inactivity because my script is always active

You might want to try the “More info” link that you were given.

Reading the page, you may need to explicitly set the buildpack.

$ heroku buildpacks:set heroku/python

The page for the python buildpack might offer other hints as to why the build is failing, if that's not the problem. For example,

A requirements.txt file must be present at the root of your application's repository.

Regarding the sleeping, free heroku webapps will sleep (rather, be forcibly terminated) after thirty minutes of web inactivity. (Not script inactivity, your script will be stopped.)

When a web request is made to a sleeping dyno, it will have to wake up (takes around thirty seconds). Because of this, do not rely on any filesystem or memory storage on the dyno; it will be reset to your git commit when it wakes up.
