Interaction of Python Code with Django.

[SUBHABRATA BANERJEE]

Dear Group,

I want to integrate an interactive Python code, (it takes user input, processes input and gives output), with Django.
I am new to Django, using Python2.7.9 on Windows 7 Professional.

I am researching on it, but as it is a room for Django experts, I am trying to post this
question, if anyone may kindly suggest how may I proceed? An example or web based tutorial would be great.

Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.

Hi,
https://github.com/py-geek/Startup-job-search
look at the code in this repo an try to understand. It's a simple job search portal developed by me.  A simple way is to use a simple HTML form and map it's action attribute to a url. map that url to a method in your urls.py file. write this method in your viws.py file. Put all your logic in this method and return the result appropriately.

Regards,

The tricky part here is providing the input for the interactive tool. For shell scripts there is a software called expect, you may want to look for Python alternatives. Of course, if this interactive tool reads sequential input from stdin and sends output to stdout, there are much easier solutions, as in this case you can simply use a subprocess (which in itself can be tricky, if the tool is not well tested for malicious input).

Thanks Palansh. I have few questions here.
a) I saw you have created a job search engine. I found its html source. Nice.
b) I found your Django codes.
My questions are,
i) Where you are calling html source in your django code.
ii) Is there any tutorial to learn this? I wanted to know it.

Thanks Gergely, I am trying to check pexpect.

Subhabrata Banerjee.

Hello,

I suggest you go through django official docs first. The methods in views.py returns response on a HTML templates. Look for them and try to understand the workflow.

Hi Palansh,

Thank you for your prompt answer, is it,
return HttpResponse(template.render(context))

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/intro/tutorial03/
under
Write views that actually do something
and you have worked out views.py

Thanks, but that is more or less on Flask. In Django I could do  Rest with restonframeworks. Now I have to integrate it with my existing code in Python.
Palansh has developed almost similar but I am looking for an interactive rest based django api for my interactive python code.
Seems bit stuck. Web search is not giving much help. If any one may kindly suggest.

Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.

Hi Palansh,

May I ask you two or three quick questions.
a) Am I understanding fine?
b) I wrote a Python Script, and wanted to port it with Django restonframework. I could do upto Django restonframework. How may I go next?
If you may kindly suggest.

Regards,
Subhabrata Banerjee.
