How to enable threads in pythonanywhere?

Question

Python

I use Flaks server to accept hooks from Telegram. In the telegram bot itself, you need to create a new thread. To delete a message after a while.

TeleBot itself didn't work either until I set threaded = False.
bot = TeleBot(config["api_key"], threaded = False)

How can the issue be resolved?

Answer 1

pythonanywhere does not support threading.

FAQ
Can I use celery? -- at the moment the answer is no. We're working on it.
Can I just use threads? -- we don't support threads in web apps, no

The only option is to use asynchronous code.
As an alternative - run a separate service that will pick up tasks for deletion from the database
