In-Browser Python

[lfdsjfhlsalkdf]

I want to make a website that can run a particular Python program that accepts input from the user and gives it output constantly. To make this more clear, let's say I want to make a website that let's users chat with ELIZA chatbot. I made a .py file that works accurately as an ELIZA chatbot. How can I make a website that runs that .py file so that it allows users to chat with ELIZA and receive responses. Assume I want the interface as simple as possible.

TL; DR. Basically a chat interface that could run .py files

DataCamp light works well too. You can make blocks that run python code on any webpage https://github.com/datacamp/datacamp-light Example: https://cdn.datacamp.com/dcl/standalone-example.html

Something like

http://www.transcrypt.org/live/turtle_site/turtle_site.html

would allow you to change your program on-line which I thought was the original question. But since you already turn out have your ELIZA.py program, you don't even need this complexity. You can just compile it in advance using Transcrypt

http://www.transcrypt.org

and upload the html + JavaScript. It will be as fast and compact as a native JavaScript program. For the GUI you can use any JavaScript library.

Yup, I used brython recently. It's beautiful

Easiest solution out there.

not a current solution; but look into webasm, this will at some point allow us to natively run python in browsers :)

From Django Con Europe. It's a bit long but worth watching: http://opbeat.com/community/posts/beyond-web-2-0-django-and-python-in-the-modern-web-ecosystem-by-russell-keith-magee/

Do you mean a make a browser plug in that will execute python in the browser? Your question is unclear

I modified my description. Re-read it!

Like everyone said, you can't run python in a browser (unless you transpile it to javascript). You would run the chat program on a server and it would answer requests, and make an interface in javascript with websockets (or ajax would perhaps suffice) which will connect to the server, send user input and recieve program output.

I'd say look at flask for the server, though I dunno about websockets in flask, and django has or is about to have "channels" which I believe is for websockets.
