AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Anaconda Inc., provider of the world’s most popular data science platform, today announced that it has acquired PythonAnywhere, a cloud-based Python development and hosting environment. As a fully-fledged, cloud-based Python development environment, PythonAnywhere removes the heavy burden of infrastructure management and empowers Python developers to simply create web applications within a cloud-based Python environment—a critical component to collaborating and sharing within dispersed teams.

PythonAnywhere’s added expertise allows Anaconda to more deeply support its user community of over 30 million individuals and ensure Python developers have access to a cloud-based environment with notebooks, tools, and a simple way to collaborate with their team. The acquisition comes on the heels of Anaconda’s release of PyScript, an open-source framework running Python applications within the HTML environment. The PythonAnywhere acquisition and the development of PyScript are central to Anaconda’s focus on democratizing Python and data science.

“Today, non-programmers are the fastest-growing group of Python users. For Python to maintain this growth and remain the most widely used data science programming language in the world, it’s imperative to increase accessibility and remove barriers to collaboration,” said Peter Wang, CEO and co-founder of Anaconda. “With the PythonAnywhere acquisition, Anaconda will extend its services to all Python developers while building on capabilities for data scientists, engineers, data science enthusiasts, and students. This is an exciting milestone for our company, and we’re thrilled about the opportunity to strengthen the breadth of our Python offerings.”
