I am a newbie to digitalocean.
I have just created the smallest VPS and then install python, pip and all required python modules in order to move my scripts which work fine on local server.
Right now, my script starts without any problem but suddenly gets killed. How can I understand the reason and solve this problem?
Do you have any idea under which circumstances digitalocean VPS kills any running script?

If this is smallest Droplet it could that script run out of memory.
You should check syslog for Out Of Memory killer.
syslog is located at /var/log/syslog and you can opet it with your favourite text editor:
- nano /var/log/syslog
Here you can try to find Out of Memory (OOM) killer signal. If there are for your script, it means you ran out of memory. If you need help with logs, post part of it here, but make sure you redact sensitive informations if they are any.
