Run and display results of python script on HTML page

Question

I have written a scraper tool in Python which when executed produces a CSV file of information. I wish to embed it in a HTML, so within the page the user is able to run it and then the results are displayed on the page from the CSV file. How can I do this?

Answer 1

If you only need to display the information on a website, no interaction back with your python script, all you need to do is just write the results into a HTML file and .format() it appropriately.

However, since this requires the user to be able to run and view the results with interaction with your python script, you would need a web server.

You could try the two most popular python based web servers that can accomplish this: Flask and Django or you could use the less common but more lightweight Simple HTTP Server .

But, do keep in mind that an easier alternative (if possible) will be to just use a GUI such as Tkinter or PyQt or EasyGUI .
