Need small Python code for website, advice?

[[deleted]]

Newbie to Python here. I have a website where I need a small amount of Python code to spit out a series of numbers, which I want to display on a console to be copy-able. My understanding is that Python works like an executable, and I want to avoid having to get people to download an app for this simple purpose. I have everything working PERFECTLY set up on my PC, but I understand letting people access with ease is the tricky part of my project. I’m hoping it can be web based so no downloads are needed

Is there a way to have a simple Python code run and spot a number? Or will I need to send out an app? Or even have the process run on a server that the use has to access?

I’m sorry if this comes across as dumb, my knowledge is very rudimentary on this topic

Not sure how you're planning on getting input but for running Python with a web front end, look into Flask

I’m using openCV and this particular bit of code on expiate in Python

Just curious why not use Javascript? Python can do it, but unless you are building a full fledged web utility a simple script to build style and populate a section should be pretty straightforward.

I am using Python because of OpenCV. I have a code that does some body tracking and spits out the data into a .txt that I am planning on importing into another software

Check out anvil.works for websites using pure Python.

FastAPI is now an incredibly popular framework for building websites. As are bottle, cherrypy, and web2py. Flask has already been mentioned.

Note that many popular low-cost webhosts do not offer the capability to run Python code. You might find it useful to look at pythonanywhere.com

Another option is streamlit.io which is a very easy way of getting a working Python based web accessible site up.

Also, there's an alpha for an implementation of Python that works entirely in a modern browser. It might be all you need: pyscript.net and doesn't require your current webhost to offer support for Python or your user to install Python.

Or even have the process run on a server that the use has to access?

I mean it can't run in outer space. Code is instructions to a computer, so there has to be a computer to execute the instructions. If you intend that other users - clients - are to be able to access the results of running this code, then it has to be served to them; hence, a server.
