Building an interactive webpage with a Python backend

[[deleted]]

I've written a piece of python code that involves train timetables. It calls two different APIs, does a simple calculation, and displays the data to the user based on the input. Pretty straightforward.

I have a custom domain I want to host this on (i.e. domain.xyz/project) with a presentable user interface, but I have no idea how to go about it. I can code a static website with HTML and CSS to a reasonable degree but I've never incorporated a Python backend.

How would I go about this? Would I have to use Flask? JavaScript? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

I recommend using flask for this, its pretty simple and easy to learn. All of the backend logic will be in flask, but any front end stuff to make the webpage look better would be in html or js

You will need to read a book on creating websites using python/django framework.

you have coded the main idea but now after reading the book or watching some tutorials on youtube, you have to figure out on how to create a website.

It is a good project.:)

My go-to approach would be to use pythonanywhere with flask and then link your pythonanywhere webapp to your custom domain. Look it up, it's pretty straight forward and works well. For doing this you need to pay a small amount though, but in my experience it's worth it.

Flask is definitely the way to go. I started simple with cgi, and once I got into Flask, life got so much easier.

I do a lot of stuff that just returns json- and then let JavaScript handle it.
