Open a .py file in HTML using a link / button

Question

So I'm creating a website and I was wondering if I could create a button / link to open a FILE, not another website, but a .py file. -Thanks

Answer 1

Use any lightweight python web framework like Flask.

Then use a script like this to run it on a website:

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route("/")
def hello():  
    #do your things here
    return "It works!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

Then run the server : python script. py

Now the server is running on port 5000

So when you visit (eg: http://rasp_pi_ip:5000/ ) the website, your script will run.

We have object tag in html. You create one button and an object. When u click on the button then you have to change the data attribute value of object tag. It will work.
