Hi there!

I'm total new to web development, so pardon the n00b question (and my bad 
English)!

After working through the video tutorial of Massimo I would like to write a 
web app using web2py --> web client push notifications.

At first I wanted to use Firebase because I have already been playing with 
it in the past. I found 3 python helper libraries (
https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/rest/start) but 2 of them seems 
not to be maintained any more which is bad because Firebase 3.x has a new 
API, and the third library does not work with python 2.7.

So I wrestled a bit with the websocket_messaging.py script and got it 
running on localhost (there is a typo in the script by the way). 
Unfortunately pythonanywhere.com (where I want to host the app) uses WSGI 
which does not support the asynchronous functionality of tornado (
https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/UsingTornado/).

I found https://pusher.com which seems to have a maintained python 2.7 
helper library, but somehow I'm getting desperate. I don't want to waste my 
time with it before making sure it will work for me.

What is your experience/recommendation? Should I go with pythonanywhere.com 
+ pusher.com or is there a better alternative? The thing is I don't want to 
manage the infrastructure but "just" use it.

Thanks in advance!
