Personal VS python-getting-started

Firstoff, I'll say that distributing exes always makes people nervous. People have become weary to opening exes they get off of a friend or the internet without knowing the source. When I first started programming I would post my code onto a web IDE such as https://cloud.google.com/python/ or https://replit.com. Don't see this project as a wasted effort. With every project you create, you are learning more about the language and in turn becoming a better programmer. I would recommend creating a Github account and making a repository of the code you would like to share. I started making one about a year ago and now it has over seven languages of content https://github.com/mrf-dot/Personal. People who can truly appreciate the substance and elegance of your programs exist, you just need to find them.

For those of you who are new to Python (as I am), I used the Getting Started on Heroku with Python documentation as a helpful guide.

After setting up a Heroku account, we’re nearly ready to deploy. Let’s walk through the steps.

I did set that as the video tutorial from codemy.com that I was watching instructed to do so. But I was able to solve this issue I believe by following the settings.py file on this Github repo (which included moving the whitenoise middleware after the security middleware) and adding STATICFILES_DIRS = BASE_DIR / 'static' (along with deleting the old syntax that I had commented out) while following the steps (including manually running 'python manage.py collectstatic') on this Stack Overflow answer. Now time will tell if the static files will persist or if I will run into an issue when the Heroku dyno restarts.

Here's Heroku's own guide to hosting a python site: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python
