Python in an HTML website
It is used to create dynamic and interactive web applications, where it handles server logic, data processing, and generation of dynamic content that is sent to the client (browser) in the form of HTML.
You can integrate Python into a website in several ways, depending on what you want to achieve.
Here are some friendly options:
1. Using a Web Framework: The most common way to integrate Python into a website is by using a framework like Flask or Django. These frameworks allow you to create complete web applications where you can manage routes, forms, and databases. For example, with Flask, you can create an app.py file and define your routes, then render from Python.
2. CGI (Common Gateway Interface): This is an older way to run Python scripts on a web server. You can write a script that generates HTML and runs it on the server. However, this option is less common today due to its complexity, as there are more modern alternatives.
3. REST API: You can create an API in Python (using Flask or Django REST Framework) that handles the backend logic, and then make requests from your HTML frontend using JavaScript (for example, with fetch or axios ). This allows you to separate the server-side logic from the client-side presentation.
4. WebAssembly: Although a bit more advanced, you can compile Python to WebAssembly using tools like Pyodide. This allows you to run code directly in the browser, although the setup may be a bit more complicated.
5. Jupyter Notebooks: If you just need to display Python output on a website, you can use Jupyter Notebooks and convert them to HTML. This is useful for presentations or reports.
