Below is my HTML code...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h2>HTML Forms</h2>

<form action=" ">
  First name:<br>
  <input type="text" name="Directory" value="C:\MyDir">
  <br>
  <br>
  <input type="submit" value="VIEW">
</form> 

<p>I want is : If you I the "Submit" button, the form-data will be sent to a page called "/myscript.py and will perform the operation".</p>

</body>
</html>






myscript.py:

import os

def  f1():
       print ("Below are the files present in your Directory { }" .format(os.listdir("C:\MyDir "))

Hi,

Django doesn't exactly work that way.

Please do the official tutorial from Django docs to get grasp of basics how things works and are tied together.

Hi Subhendu,

To make this all work, you'll need to do this:

1. Create a Django app
2. Add some URL to a view (any view)
3. Inside the view, run your script.
4. Change the for on the "action" to point to the URL in point 2.

You may want to read the Django Tutorial[1] to grasp who those things are implemented and connect to each other.
