What is your favorite (free or not) web hosting services that is compatible with django( and python in general) ?
PS: is OVH compatible?
Options are several, depending on whether you want to do any work or not:
As long as you don't want to do anything, you should go for hosting which does it for you:
pythonanywhere - included IDE in cloud
heroku - in basic use free, but any addon can be pricy.
If you would like to deploy some code I have made a fork with an update in full process description of deployment to heroku -> tutorial on github
webfaction - Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP
linode - as many say the best integration for non specialist in system administration
As long as you can do system configuration, I would go for VPS options such as OVH, which for my personal use I find the cheapest (approx. 10 EUR/month) which for this spec is kind of a good deal -> 1 vCore (2.0 GHz+) 1 GB 50 GB 100 Mbit/s 10,10 €
Place where you can find many free hosting services for django ->
http://freedjangohosting.com/
WebFaction is among the best in my opinion.

I have Linux Ubuntu installed and I want to code my Flask app in Linux only.But certain tutorials are coding the web app in a VPS.Why do I need a VPS?Can't I build my web app locally and directly host my site on Heroku?
You can host your application in any form you like.
VPS are an abstraction of a machine, giving you all the resources your application would need often at a fraction of the price required to get a physical server just for you. So it may be a good idea to use a VPS for the development and first phase in the life of your website.
You may also directly choose to deploy your website in one of the many cloud providers. Often they will not charge you until you start hitting a certain amount of resource utilization. So that may also be a cost saver.
You can find some additional info about the benefits of VPS here.
Note I am not associated with the website in any way, I just found it to be quite thorough in talking about VPS.

I have a Google App Engine application that I have developed in Python that leverages Datastore. My customer now needs to run this application within a localized infrastructure due to privacy concerns. Some key requirements are: autoscaling, low latency and ability to store noSQL data. What are my options?
You've basically chosen the wrong platform I think, but AppScale would help you do what you want:
http://www.appscale.com/
AppScale Systems, Inc. develops and supports AppScale, the world’s
leading open source rapid development model for building scalable web
and mobile applications. AppScale gives you the freedom to run your
App Engine application across all public and private clouds or on your
own virtual or physical infrastructure. AppScale leverages the App
Engine API to allow DEVS to quickly focus on the business logic of the
application and frees your OPS from unwieldy software stacks. AppScale
Systems is proud to be a Google Cloud Technology Partner.
An alternative would be to continue to run in the GAE cloud itself, but restrict access via logins and/or IP address etc.

Still learning python, and want to build a web project.
I wonder if there is any web server implemented in python that could be used in practice?
I know simplehttpserver, which is too simple.
Apache and Nginx, they might be too complicated, and they're not python.
addition
Sorry if I'm not making it clear. I'm working on a simple http file browser much like ubuntu repository where people download files. simplehttpserver works, but I want to use more features,
like process request before it gets to a file, and customized url routing .
Thanks in advance.
For deploying WSGI applicaitons you may look into Gunicorn, which is written in Python.
Or if you are interested in writing an Asynchronous application, you may look into Tornado which comes with it's own server.
Please update your question in details i.e. your use case, and with particular problems you may face, otherwise it'd be considered not constructive.

So I was wondering if there is any Python package that can allow a pure Python application with a graphic interface to be embedded in a website. I have an application with a Tkinter interface that I want to make available on a website. Any way to do this without converting too much code?
Thanks!
In fact, it's possible: GTK3 has a html5 backend named Broadway.
This backend enable to access to an application through a web browser.
$ GDK_BACKEND=broadway your-application
You can see an exemple with python in this video
Of course, it needs a GTK application...
It's impossible.
Python/Tkinter app is a desktop application, which requires desktop manager, has access to file system etc.
Web application is a different stack of technologies (HTTP, HTML, javascript etc), it is not possible to mix them
Yes, this is possible, but not in way you expect.
There is python - to js translation kit, which supports many, but not all, python operations, functions and types.
So you can write back-end and front-end in python.
But using pure js for front-end will give you more performance.

I am looking for options on places to host a Django site.
Should I find a service that already has the proper programs and dependencies installed?
Or can I gain access to a server and install them myself?
Webfaction
Heroku
Google App Engine
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
Windows Azure
But, cheaper, do it yourself. VPS's these days are quite cheap (digitalocean.com $5/month). An easy to manage combination: Ubuntu + Nginx + Gunicorn, and follow some tutorials about how to secure and update your VPS.
Hosting yourself can be cheaper, but you will have to spend some time maintaing the system to keep it safe. Choosing a service may be a bit more expansive but you don't have to deal with the system itself.
Choose your best.
If you just need somewhere to play around with I would recommend something like heroku.
It's easy to deploy apps, free for small apps and you don't have to worry about sysadmin side of things if you do not need to.
