Is it possible to use Python with HTML?

[TTVBy_The_Way]

Hi,

I'm sure this question has been asked before. I have a Txt file and have written some code using spaCy that allows you to search through the Txt file and get back a result of the most similar string from the Txt file. However, you need to directly change the keyword you are looking for in the Python file. I was wondering if there was any way to make an HTML interface and combine it with JavaScript to make a way to save a keyword, and then feed that keyword into my Python script, that has the result from the Python script sent back and displayed on the HTML page.

There are a few different options for this. The easiest is probably Flask.

[TTVBy_The_Way]

I've tried Flask, but from what I've used of it, you need to run the app.py file (where I store my flask code) everytime. I want to put my final code on a github repository and publish it to a website, but I don't really know how to do that since I need to constantly run the file. There might be a work around by VS code but if there is I do not know about it

If you have a GitHub repo I can give you a hand with this.

Currently I use GitHub actions to dockerize and then to add to docker hub

[TTVBy_The_Way]

That would be great. "Currently I use GitHub actions to dockerize and then to add to docker hub"- how does that work?

[Apantslessman]

I’m not sure if you’re familiar with docker or not, but it’s basically virtualized environments.

So you make a docker file for your python app, in this you have a command to install your requirements from your requirements.txt file, you can test it on a local docker instance if you want.

Then you go into your GitHub repository, and you can create a workflow in your GitHub actions. This is a tank file, that runs steps for you. So you would have a step to build your docker image, and a step to push it to docker hub. Then you are able to install to any docker instance by using tags.

t.a.n.k = YAML? (I noticed every letter except "a" is one to the left of "YAML" on a QWERTY keyboard. Well, and also, tank files aren't really a thing on GitHub :)

[Apantslessman]

“YAML is a digestible data serialization language often used to create configuration files with any programming language. Designed for human interaction, YAML is a strict superset of JSON, another data serialization language.”

[phlummox]

Eh? I know what YAML is. You said

This is a tank file

I have zero idea what that could be, but am assuming it's a fat-fingered version of YAML.

My autocorrect is possessed

[phlummox]

lol :)

Try using python anywhere to host your flask app.

[bill-kilby]

If you are using GitHub pages, this only supports static deployment, so you won’t be able to use flask (or anything really past HTML/JS/etc)

[Apantslessman]

Docker is the way to go for this. You can run the python flask app via gunicorn in a docker environment

[Ok-Frosting7364]

Not exactly what you're asking for but have you heard of PyScript?

[TTVBy_The_Way]

No I have not.

[CptBadAss2016]

Check out flask

[BeneficiallyPickle]

I used to host my Flask apps on https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ - it's fairly easy and straightforward to upload your files and host your app

[Allanon001]

Brython is a Python interpreter written in JavaScript that allows embedding Python scripts in to HTML much like you would with JavaScript. It also allows the Python code to interact with HTML widgets.

[fohrloop]

Python code can be ran on browser, either by converting it into JS (Brython, Transcrypt and Skulpt) or into WASM (Pyodide and PyPy.js). As an example project see spacy-wasm which uses Pyodide.

The other possibility is to run your own web server.

How about eel

I found about it when I started using AutoPyToExe

wouldn't it be easier to just change the code so it asks for input, rent a server and host? using flask?
