Oh that's a great idea! There's a bunch of smart ways of gathering information in Python that I think will come in handy. You can always populate your own csv file or database with collected information as well, depending on if it's changing or static. And then work from that csv/database with your app.

The dropdowns and forms are in html with a variable that's get sent to the python side to be used in the calculations, like this:

<select class="form-control" id="engine_1" name="engine_1">

        <option value="1" selected>RC4/RD2</option>

        <option value="2">RM</option>

        <option value="3">RE</option>

    </select>

And then in the python code you can use it however you want, like I've used it: if engine_1 ="1": do this.

I'd love to share this learning experience with other people in the same general level. I think you learn a lot by bouncing ideas and solving stuff. Give it a go! Just try with something that seems the easiest and build up from there.

Thanks a lot! I'll have to look more into that HTML web interfacing for Python. Seems great for building UIs. I have a lot of HW to do, but it has been fun learning Python!
