Run a Python file on a website
python, web
Solution
I'd advise you to look into something like flask. It's a micro-framework that includes a basic web server. The documentation should get you most of the way that you want to go.
Running python on the web usually means that when you hit an URL, the server runs some kind of python script, and returns a string - the HTML content of the page you're requesting. You can't use python to 'script' the webpage as you'd use javascript.
You can run python in an interactive interpreter running within a webpage though - just check out try ipython.
Problem
I finished up some python tutorials and would like to go a bit further. I can open the IDLE and execute the code just fine by pressing f5 (save and run) on my desktop but that is the limit of my abilities. I would like to be able to execute the programs on a webpage I tried simply uploading the file to my server, then browsing to it in chrome. I'm sure you know what happened: the url displayed text on the screen. Since I am brand new to python, I am not sure where to start or even what questions to ask. Basically I would like to run the program in the browswer as if the browswer was the IDLE, or better yet, create an html/css button that runs the program when clicked.
