On Vercel you have no access to the file system and the environment doesn't expose any Python interpreter for use in scripts unless you deploy a dedicated Python application
House WrenOP
so I can't host this app on vercel I need to make a seprate py app and fetch data from that app, is there a way to host my app as it is for free?
Giant panda
You can host both on Vercel
Both the Python app as a backend and a server function in JS for example on Vercel as well
Even though that latter might be redundant
House WrenOP
can I have 2 apis one in nodejs and one in python in a nextjs app and host it on vercel?
but I think it was meant to host a backend in python it didn't mention using it in a nextjs app
or maybe I didn't understand it correctly

You can't mix Next with Python
They have to be separate deployments in separate environments
House WrenOP
got it
That's harder than I thought it would be but at least I have an idea where to go
just another question if I created a sperate python server on vercel would be able to send requests at anytime to fetch data from it? and is it free ?
Giant panda
Yes and it's free as long as it's within the limits of the hobby tier

Many thanks

I assume it goes without saying that you can't mix Next with Python and Turbo repo then @Giant panda ?
