Some CDNs have Python edge functons: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/ https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/languages/python/ https://aws.amazon.com/developer/application-security-performance/articles/cloudfront-edge-functions/ https://aws.amazon.com/developer/application-security-perfor...
