How to run python script from web page?

Question

Im quite new in web developing, could someone please point me in the right direction of help with the scripts to run a .py script on a web page. Below are the ones that i am using. Do i have to create a html file and a php file?? If so please help me. I have a internal server running on XAMPP with Apache and configured to run CGI, .py scripts.

Work flow:

Upload > button to run the below .py script > download

Upload script(php):

<?php
if(isset($_POST['UploadButton'])){ //check if form was submitted

$target_dir = '/opt/lampp/htdocs/pic-el/Dump/';
$target_file = $target_dir . basename($_FILES["filepath"]["name"]);
$imageFileType = pathinfo($target_file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["filepath"]["tmp_name"], $target_file);
} 
?>

Python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import CGIHTTPServer
CGIHTTPServer.test()
import os
import urllib
import cgi
import webcolors 
import xlsxwriter
from PIL import Image

filename = "/home/Desktop/tess/test1"

imageNameArray = []


def downloadfile(urlData):
    urllib.urlretrieve(urlData[0], urlData[1])
    print " image downloaded: " + str(urlData[1])
    return


# open file to read
with open("{0}.csv".format(filename), 'r') as csvfile:
    # iterate on all lines
    i = 0
    for line in csvfile:
        splitted_line = line.split(',')
        # check if we have an image URL
        if splitted_line[1] != '' and splitted_line[1] != "\n":
            # urllib.urlretrieve(splitted_line[1], '/home/tf_files/images/{0}.jpg'.format (splitted_line[0]))
            imageNameArray.append(
                (splitted_line[1], '/home/Desktop/tess/images/{0}.jpg'.format(splitted_line[0])))
            print "Image added to list for processing for {0}".format(splitted_line[0])
            i += 1
        else:
            print "No result for {0}".format(splitted_line[0])

os.environ['TF_CPP_MIN_LOG_LEVEL'] = '2'

workbook.close()

Answer 1

You don't need to create separate php and html files.

First, when the server goes back to apache2

sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi

(It connects apache2 with wsgi.)

Second, you need to create a configuration file and

Move the configuration file to Document_Root.

ex> server.conf

WSGIScriptAlias /test /var/www/wsgi/main.py

MainOption |  Address to be connected | Python file location

Third, restart apache2 service.

EXAMPLE_CODES

main.py

server.conf

Answer 2

you can't run .py on a web page, only u can run on the server since Python's a server side programming. But you can run python script from PHP (since u r using XAMPP.) Example -

<?php
   $output =  exec('./filename.py');
?>
