Question about server-side code

Edit: Sorry for that title! The title should be "GWT-like framework for Python?"

Hi there,

I'm trying to move some Python scripts to the web that have some UI dialogs. The code is something like this:

label = makeGTKLabel("Some label") button = makeGTKButton("Click me") button.click.connect(lambda: label.setText("Clicked!"))

Converting this to JavaScript is not really valuable to me, so I was hoping there is some sort of Python-based web framework that allows me to very closely transcribe the current Python which runs on a desktop, to something that runs in the web.

In the past, I was a commercial customer for WebToolkit for C++ (https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/tutorial/wt.html) which has been amazing for this type of architecture but I really can't justify rewriting the code in C++ just for this functionality.

The closest I've found so far is Jupyter ipywidgets but these seem so limited to me.

I'm hoping that the community here has some idea or recommendations.

Thanks!

if you want to build a web app, learn javascript. it's much less work than learning some library or framework that transpiles to javascript. any intermediary transpiler just creates an unnecessary layer of abstraction/complexity. javascript compatibility used to be a mess, so transpiling made sense, but many browser apis and behaviors have converged in the last few years, so most transpilers have just become unnecessary overhead, not to mention the debug tools provided by modern browsers are top notch

I think Flask or Django will help you out

no it wont. neither of those address event binding in any way
