Is Django is an appropriate tool for what I'm trying to do?

I have experience using HTML/CSS/Javascript and Python separately, but I'm completely lost on how to use both together (if that's even a thing). I have a Python file that can take input, calculate a value and return it. I thought my final result would be a webpage coded using HTML/CSS, that took a user input, inserted it somehow into that Python file and displayed the output.

When I began reading about using Python in webpages, the most popular recommendation seemed to use the framework Django. While going through the tutorial however, Django seemed possibly overkill for what I was trying to do. Is using Django the best way to take user inputs, run Python on them, and display the output to the user?

You might want to consider micro frameworks like Flask. It's a lot simpler and smaller compared to Django.

I'm sure there's more but you can start with those two.
