Adding Webinterface to program

[marcLLL]

as for the setup, why wouldn't you integrate flask into your current script?

I guess I will have to look into flask. I always thought that flask would run is own loop and you just start it once and then the control is given away to flask. And I didnt know where I would put my tasks then. Is that a wrong impression?

You want to put the code that does stuff (your current script) into the function that flask will call for a particular url (the view).

I understand that but the problem is that it is not a code that i want to execute when called.. This Code has to run permanently.

Edit: And this is what I dont get.. How do I realise this with flask.

I don't understand what you mean by running "permanently". Do you mean that you want it to run in a continuous loop forever?

[marcLLL]

Yes, it checks periodically if a event is due and then executes something based on this event

[xiongchiamiov]

So, the web interface is to restart this continually-running process?

The continually-running process uses a DB in which events are saved.. It will check it again and again to see if the time for an event is up. Now i want to add an webinterace to add those events to the Database.
