I want to connect a python script to SAP. Therefore I use pyrfc which is developed by SAP https://github.com/SAP/PyRFC/.
This works on my local computer, as I followed the installation description: (http://sap.github.io/PyRFC/install.html#sap-nw-rfc-sdk-installation):
Windows
Create the SAP NW RFC SDK home directory, e.g. c:\nwrfcsdk
Set the SAPNWRFC_HOME env variable: SAPNWRFC_HOME=c:\nwrfcsdk
Unpack the SAP NW RFC SDK archive to it, e.g. c:\nwrfcsdk\lib shall exist.
Include the lib directory to the library search path on Windows, i.e. extend >the PATH environment variable.
Add c:\nwrfcsdk\lib to PATH.
Now I wanted to see, if this also can work on pythonanywhere.com to later maybe develop a Django App.
Therefore I uploaded the SAP NW RFC SDK to pythonanywhere and set the SAPNWRFC_Home env variable to the corresponding python anywhere folder:
echo SAPNWRFC_HOME=/home/Buddhagoes/nwrfcsdk/
This didn't work.
I also tried to set the path dynamically in the python Script itself. Without success :-(
import sys
print(sys.path)
['', '/home/Buddhagoes/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu',
'/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old',
usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Orange/orng',
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages','/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-
3.0-gtk2']
sys.path += ["/home/Buddhagoes/nwrfcsdk/lib"]
sys.path

from pyrfc import Connection

ImportError: libsapnwrfc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file

It would mean a tremendous progress in my relatively short programming career if a hosted Python script could communicate with our SAP system, yet I am stuck at this point :-(
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you
