a web UI to invoke a python script at server side

[Frank Cui]

Hey guys,

I'm working on to provide a lightweight web UI for providing an interface to invoke a python script(a sequential script which could involve some system calls) at the server side. The UI should collect some parameters for input into this python script, and conversely the output of the script needs to be returned to the web client side.

I haven't done much web programming before, can you provide some hints on how this is usually implemented ?

Thanks

Frank

Hi Frank,

Have a look at http://flask.pocoo.org/
This is a micro web framework.

Build your "hello world" web app, once it's working, look at the flask tutorial, you won't use the database but it'll give you a good overview of how things are organized.

Flask support python 3 but your web server may not. You may need to stick with python 2.
