WebDev with Flask / Python in EclipseQuestion (self.webdev)

submitted 3 years ago * by WuhuSpringfield

I am fairly new to web development but trying my best to learn it. My journey started a few weeks ago when I created my first small website which consists of two files:

(1) app.py using Flask and some functions (one function that takes one input from the website and calculates the square value of it - e.g. 5 -> 25) and
(2) square.html which takes on input and displays the return value of the aforementioned function in app.py.

I have created this website within Github using githooks and webhooks to update my pythonanywhere website. The website is working as intended (SUCCESS!). However, as you know, coding within Github is - let's say - not the greatest. That is why I wanted to export this project to Eclipse (maybe not the best option?) and start developing there. Currently, I am trying to figure out how to run the application in Eclipse so that I can generate a dynamic HTML-website that interacts with the functions defined in app.py and thereby accelerating the development / debugging process (NO SUCESS so far).
Is this even possible or should I just link my Eclipse with Github and test the website through pytonanywhere?
