Hi all,

I’ve a Python app, whith database hosted in [elephantsql.com](http://elephantsql.com).  
I tried upload the app from GitHub, but i´m not sure if Netlify supports Python applications, but if so, I need details on how to configure it. Are there any tutorials available? I didn’t find anything useful on Google.

@GEATI Netlify supports python during build, to produce static website output, but not during runtime.

So you cannot write a “backend” that is in python.
