Just keep the computer the server is hosted on 24/7. It's as simple as that, but keep in mind the electricity costs and the possible overheats. 8)

Yes that's the only way to run a server all the time. Is to have your computer on all the time to. Look into oil submersion maybe or just some more fans :D
Keep calm and code python^_^

You could also rent a VPS (A virtual computer on a real one that hosts 20-40 similar ones) they can be pretty cheap and they run 24/7.

So the server would run with or without your computer on..
I've heard these guys are pretty decent, although they aren't there to help you ('unmanaged'). http://buyvm.net/
