Hosting Jupyter Notebook Python App on a Webpage

I've made a simple python GUI application using ipywidgets, ipycanvas, and numpy. I made the program on Jupyter notebook as an ipynb file. I would now like to take my application and put it on a webpage. What is the best way to take this Jupyter notebook app and host it on the web?
I've looked a bit into Binder and Django, but I can't seem to find enough resources or documentation on the net to help me learn how to do this.

If you already have it working as a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb file), I'd suggest that sticking with that as the core item for now. I'd suggest getting running via MyBinder.org based on either this example repo or this one. Or a combination of the two.
This video is recent and a good reference for many of the steps of setting up a repo with your content.
You essentially make a copy of the Binder templates under your control and then edit them to have your content. You adapt the URLs that trigger launches so that when you share the link, they launch a session via MyBInder.org with your content. Most often the steps can be performed right in the Github browser-based interface without you needing to use git or work locally. If you have something fancier you need, you may have to move to using more complex configuration file set-ups and those may necessitate some use of git and local editing.
If you hit some technical road blocks, post your questions here using the 'questions' category as suggested in this post about 'Debugging your Binder'.
Maybe once the basics of sharing the notebook or appmode version are working with your own content, you may want to check out Voila or some of the other ways you can share a jupyter notebook-based app discussed here.

Jupyter itself is made with Tornado web framework.
There are many bindings to another popular web frameworks.
I once tried on it, and I found that pyramid-notebook is easy to use.

For a quick build I recommend Binder. This is how you can quickly set up Binder with voila:

Can't run coursebuilder in google app engine

It is really weird that after clicking run button, it does nothing and also no log and show a clock sign on the first column.
It works normally before. However, after I messed up my python environment, the google coursebuilder can't run web application. That's my guessing. When I run which python.it only shows:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python
These let me feel like I have no way to solve it!Are there anyone who came across this problem before? Any ideas or suggestions?
Updated: I follow suggestions to use command line to run web application on GAE. It reminds me here:
Update: The error message shows that GAE can't get the allocated port and domain. The reason why it happens is that when I use command line to run the web application, I also open GAE GUI to run a web app with the same port number.
So the way to solve it is to close the GAE GUI and free the port. Or we also could designate another kind of port number with command line.(--port=XXXX and --admin_port=YYYY). Or take a look at the doc:
Again thanks for the help of Mihail R!

The OP had multiple issues with GAE setup which were resolved by simply reinstalling the GAE Launcher and making sure the app was first copied into Applications from the .dmg file, then ran from the Applications instead of from inside the .dmg file, and appropriate permissions were suppose to be given so that GAE Launcher created the symlinks it needed to work properly.
More instructions on proper GAE SDK installation can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/downloads after clicking on the needed SDK and then the OS the SDK will be installed on.

Configuring Azure for Django/Python 3

I had a Django project that uses python 3.2+. Having been through a couple Azure classes I wanted to deploy my Django application through Windows Azure. I got the web site synced through my Git Repository, and following the advice of the MSDN forums, added the python 33 runtime in a folder called /PythonCore/ and added WSCGI.py to the scripts folder within there.
My website can''t find the CGI interface and likewise is failing to process HTTP requests. I know something must be wrong in my configuration, but I havn't a clue as to what. I was wondering if anyone might know what my error is.
WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION 0.10.5
DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE DjangoApplication.settings
PYTHONPATH D:\home\site\wwwroot\DjangoApplication;
WSGI_HANDLER django.core.handlers.wsgi.WSGIHandler
Handler Mappings
* D:\home\site\wwwroot\PythonCore\python.exe D:\home\site\wwwroot\PythonCore\scripts\wfastcgi.py
Please let me know if any additional information is needed or you have an idea what I can try.

Azure Web Sites w Django currently requires Python version 2.7. Please see this:

Python 3.x will be supported soon (hopefully fall 2013).

What packaging option are available for python/django

I am starting on developing a django application on a shared webhosting server(alwaysdata.com).
I would like to understand what are the packaing options available to package a django application (preferably in compiled form)
I would like to setup the source code repository on my system and build using the python packaging and deploy the package on alwaysdata.com.
I would like the option of not having to share the source code on alwaysdata.com.
Looking at pip , I am not able to find this option.
EDIT
A few more clarification: I would need the ability to not share the sourcecode since it contains the "API secret key" which I would not want to compromise. The more I look into it , the more i believe that there is no way for me to distribute binary only distribution.

I've found fabric to be a pretty nice tool for deploying Django projects. To compile your python code you can use compileall:
python -m compileall <dir>

How is this API key used? Is it a google maps api? Is it provided in scripts that go to the browser? If so, it's already out in the open, anyone using your site will see it, so you're trying to provide a $100 lock for a $0.01 piece of information. If it's a google maps api, it's not secured by keeping it hidden, but rather it's tied to a domain/directory (IIRC).
Can you share a little more what the API key is and is for, then maybe we can help you find a better solution to keep it secure.

Do you think you have to share your source code if you host your application on a 'shared hosting' provider? That's not the case. Your source code should still be private to you but the administrators of your hosting provider can get it too. Other normal Joe Users of the service shouldn't have access to your source code, or your database too. If they do, then get another shared hosting provider!

Possible to integrate Google AppEngine and Google Code for continuous integration?

Anyone have any thoughts on how/if it is possible to integrate Google Code commits to cause a Google AppEngine deployment of the most recent code?
I have a simple Google AppEngine project's source hosted on Google Code and would love if everytime I committed to Subversion, that AppEngine would reflect the latest commit. I don't mind if things are broken on the live site since the project is for personal use mainly and for learning.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to tie into the subversion commit for the Code repository and/or how to kickoff the deployment to AppEngine? Ideally the solution would not require anything manual from me nor any type of server/listener software on my machine.

Google Code Project Hosting now supports Post-Commit Web Hooks, which ping a project-owner-specified URL after every commit. This would eliminate the need to regularly poll your Google Code repository.

Made By Sofa had a blog post about their workflow with Google App Engine. In the second last paragraph they have attached a subversion hook that when when someone commits code it will automatically deploy to Google App Engine. It would take a little bit of tweaking (because it works on the server side not the client) but you could do the same.

You'd probably have to have some glue on another computer which monitored SVN commits and deployed a new version for you. Google Code has yet to develop and release an API (which they need to do soon if they're serious about this whole development thing), but GAE can be deployed to with relative automated ease, so I wouldn't have thought it should be that difficult. The deployment process, however, will vary with each project, so that's something you need to sort out yourself (you might wanna take a look at the fabric deployment system). Then, just set a cron job going which updates a local SVN checkout on the middle machine, and you're done.

Very interesting, but not yet possible, AFAIK. I have been looking for that option in Google Code with no success.
The only solution I can figure out is to install something in your machine that checks for changes in your SVN repository.
I'll be happy to hear about other approaches.

For those of us who are using Github, this feature from the GAE team would make us all seriously consider switching to Google Code...
