How to connect python to html
Learn how to connect Python and HTML using Flask framework with a simple example.
To connect Python to HTML, you can use a web framework like Flask or Django. These frameworks allow you to create dynamic web applications by integrating Python with HTML templates. In this article, I will guide you through the process of connecting Python to HTML using Flask.
Setting up Flask
First, you'll need to install Flask if you haven't already. You can do this using pip, the Python package manager. Open your terminal and run the following command:
pip install Flask
Once Flask is installed, you can create a new Python file for your web application. Let's call it app.py.
Creating a Simple Web Application
In app.py, you can define routes that will render HTML templates. For example, you can create a route that renders a basic HTML page:
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
In this example, the index route renders the index.html template. Now, let's create the index.html file in a new folder called templates.
Creating the HTML Template
Inside the templates folder, create a new file called index.html. You can use regular HTML syntax in this file to create the structure of your web page. Here's an example of a simple index.html template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Web App</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Now, when you run your Flask application, the index.html template will be rendered when you navigate to the root URL (e.g., http://localhost:5000/).
This is a basic example of how to connect Python to HTML using Flask. You can further extend your web application by adding dynamic content, forms, and other interactive elements to your HTML templates using Python.
