Running scripts on cloud

Question

I'm new to cloud computing domain. Here is what I've:
1) A domain.
2) A hosting space (on HostGator).
3) A Microsoft Azure account.

And here is what I need to do:
1) Take an input file from the user using HTML.
2) Processing the input file using a Python script.
3) Returning an output file generated by the script to the user.

How do I do this? Any rough steps?
I want to implement this using Microsoft Azure. Though HostGator supposedly supports Python 2.7, I couldn't run my scripts there and got an Internal Server Error 500.

an internal error means you have an error in your code ... you should check the error logs ... — Joran Beasley, Sep 02 '15 at 04:53

As Azure is a cloud platform which provides a growing collection of integrated services.You can leverage Azure Web Apps to approach your need.

You can build your python project on local first, then create a Web app on Azure portal, and deploy your project to Azure Web app with Git, FTP or Visual Studio.

Here is an official reference about how to deploy python project on Azure Web app step by step.

Also, you can configure a custom domain name in Azure Web Apps, for more information you can find in Configure a custom domain name in Azure App Service
