Question

I’m planning to develop a Web/cloud application using python which does the following,
1. Upload Perl/Python scraping scripts and execute.
2. Uploaded scripts to run on a Schedule.
3. Run multiple instance of same script with different input parameters.
4. Measure scripts performance.
5. View Scripts standard output/log.

I got limited/no knowledge about technologies which can satisfy my requirement,
Tips, Pointers, Ideas to existing work, libraries, open source implementation etc are appreciated.

Thanks,
Rajesh.

Use Scrapy as the base for your work:

http://scrapy.org/

For uploading, script performance and output (through web interface, I assume) you need to write your custom web front end which stores this information in a database where you can then explore it. One option for this is Pyramid:

For Python cloud deployments see Heroku:
